[[Cape Fligely]], [[Rudolf Island]], [[Franz Josef Land]], [[Russia]] (81° 48′ 24″ N).{{dubious|date=March 2015}} Franz Josef Land is near the ill-defined border between [[Europe]] and [[Asia]]; if it is not considered a part of Europe, then the northernmost point is on the island of [[Rossøya]], [[Svalbard]], [[Norway]] ([[81st parallel north|81°N]]).

*'''Southernmost point'''. Cape Trypiti, [[Gavdos]] Island, [[Greece]] (34° 48′ 02″ N) is the least ambiguous southernmost point of Europe. However, there are other contenders, depending on definition. The island of [[Cyprus]], although geographically in Asia, has cultural links with Europe and it is also part of European Union; Cyprus's southernmost point is the British base at [[RAF Akrotiri|Akrotiri]] (34°35′N). The Portuguese islands of [[Madeira]] are borderline between Europe and [[Africa]]; their southernmost point is at [[Bugio Island]], at (32°24′14″N). [[La Restinga]] on the island of [[El Hierro]] (27°45′N) in the Spanish [[Canary Islands]] is yet further south and could be considered politically, though not [[physiographic]]ally as part of Europe.
*'''Westernmost point'''. [[Monchique Islet]], [[Azores Islands]], [[Portugal]] (31° 16′ 30″ W) (If considered part of Europe, though it sits on the [[North American Plate]]). If not, then the [[Capelinhos]] Volcano, [[Faial Island]], [[Azores Islands]], [[Portugal]] (28° 50′ 00″ W), the westernmost point of the [[Eurasian Plate]] above sea level. [[Bjargtangar]] (24° 31′ 55″ W) is Iceland´s Westernmost point and thus furthest west of a European country outside [[Greenland]] (which belongs to [[Kingdom of Denmark|Denmark]]). The westernmost part of Greenland is the [[Carey Islands]] group at 72°50'W.
*'''Easternmost point'''. [[Cape Flissingsky]] (69° 02′ E), [[Severny Island]], [[Novaya Zemlya]], Russia.
