The list of cratons on Wikipedia includes entries for Antarctica and Australia while omitting Greenland.
I couldn't find a technical definition of a craton, but to geologists a continent must contain at least one craton to qualify.

- tharkun__ 1y agoIt looks like the "North American Craton" reaches all the way up to Greenland if you look at the image. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:North_america_craton_nps.gif https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:North_america_craton_np... I wonder what would happen if you told this to Trump.
- metalman 1y agothey have probably looked at it but as they end up loosing both coasts and alaska,it would not be a good place to build land claims from. Overall we are lucky that "craton/continents" is such a low low key thing, or we would have to endure a whole academic broohaha,look what happened to Pluto. MPAPA "make pluto a planet again"
