	"Greenland" is part of Denmark, maybe mention that behind "Denmark".

	I've never been fond of treating Greenland as part of Denmark in Sporcle quizzes. That would be like treating the Falkland Islands as part of the U.K. In a quiz called "Southernmost Countries by Continent," wouldn't you feel cheated if U.K. were the answer for Europe?

	+1 on the Greenland thing.

	Def. not Denmark: even if you consider Greenland as Denmark, which I think is OK, it is in North America, so that doesn't work. If you wanted to, you could have Denmark be the northernmost country in NA, but you would get flack for that too.

	yeah, it should be the northernmost point ON the continent (I think Canada beats Greenland in NA, anyway). Of course, on Oceania, I'd argue the correct answer is the USA (Hawaii's northernmost islands)

	hero, you're wrong. Greenland is a fully autonomous possession of Denmark's, giving it the same status as (as Time and Tide pointed out) the Falkland Islands. It's not the same as with France, where, for example, French Guiana is part of metropolitan France. Even then, geographically Greenland is part of North America. If you want to suggest that all possessions of a country mark the border of the continent that country is on, it would make Europe by far the largest continent in the world, as it would cover basically the entire globe, from the North Pole to the South Pole and right around the world. The most northern country in Europe is either a) Norway, if you count Svalbard, or Russia.

	I agree with joebobs, I think Norway should be the answer for Europe because of Svalbard, which is both part of Norway and geographically located in Europe.

	I'd say Norway is the northernmost in Europe, as Svalbard is part of Europe. Greenland does extend further north, but it is in North America... perhaps Denmark should be the answer (or at least a bonus) for North America?

	like everyone else said, greenland is in north america.

	There seem to be two valid ways of doing this quiz... including and excluding external territories. If you exclude territories, Denmark should not be the northernmost in Europe, Norway should be. And if you include territories... well, Denmark should be in there, but for North America. Either way, I think USA for Oceania has some merit, as Hawaii should be counted as part of it.
