This. Northern Europe is Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland.

In the Netherlands nobody says we are northern Europe. Everybody considers us to be part of Western Europe. Just like UK and Ireland. Germany is more difficult, being part of western Europe and central Europe simultaneously. But also not northern Europe.

Yes at 55 North i'd say I am pretty far north..

71 + 36 = 107/2 =53.5N.

A place with a southern position would not have 18 hours of daylight.

Europe doesn't end at Nordkapp.

See my previous post - the mid point of Europe is 57 degrees. Not all of those countries are fully north of that point ergo some PARTS of some of those countries are in the southern half of the continent - you can't argue with the maths though I am sure many will try.

The mid point may be 57ºN, but most of the european landmass and population is between 40 to 55ºN, above 55ºN, there's not much population.
Basically Europe's north is between 50 and 65ºN, since there's not much above 65ºN, 1/2 million population perhaps?
and the southern half between 35 and 50ºN.
