Europe

Europe was a continent on Earth, linked to Asia and separated from Africa by a inland sea.

Europe was mostly continental, though it had significant island inhabitation as well, notably the UK.

Geography
Europe's climates ranged from temperate to cold, suitable for humans. Like the rest of the world, Europe experienced several Ice Ages from the distant past to the year 5000. (TV: The Ice Warriors, The Talons of Weng-Chiang)

Famous natural beauties in Europe include the Switza, the Rhine, the Danube, and the Black Forest. (PROSE: Managra)

History
