Europe is geologically and geographically a peninsula, forming the westernmost part of Eurasia. It is conventionally considered a continent, which, in this case, is more of a cultural distinction than a geographic one. (National Geographic, however, officially recognises it as a separate continent.) It is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, and to the east by the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea (for more detailed description see Geography of Europe).
When considered a continent, Europe is the world's second smallest continent in terms of area, with an area of 10,600,000 km˛ (4,140,625 square miles), making it larger than Australia only. In terms of population it is the third largest continent after Asia and Africa. The population of Europe in 2003 was estimated to be 799,466,000: roughly one eighth of the world's population.
