The Americas

The Americas comprise the totality of the continents of North America (including Canada, the United States, Greenland, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and Bermuda) and South America (including Latin America and the Caribbean-extending from The Bahamas and Mexico to Argentina and Chile). Together, they make up most of the land in Earth’s western hemisphere and comprise the New World.

The Continents

A continent is one of several very large landmasses of the world. Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven regions are commonly regarded as continents: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.

Depending on the convention and model, some continents may be consolidated or subdivided: For example, Eurasia is most often subdivided into Asia and Europe, while North America and South America are sometimes recognised as one American continent, The Americas.

It’s probably the same as with Our 8 Senses – and the beauty does indeed lie in the eye of the beholder.

Therefore, I would like to apply yet another convention and divide contents of this site into the regions / continents Asia, Europe, Scandinavia and The Americas. Hope, you don’t mind as it does fit the presentation of all the pics taken by me while traveling the world much better.

It’s all ‘under construction‘ anyway: In about one galactic year (roughly 225 million earth years) from now, all the continents on Earth may fuse – yet again – into a supercontinent. Three potential arrangements of this configuration have been dubbed Amasia, Novopangaea and Pangaea Ultima.
