Norway and Sweden are contiguous with Europe? How?
Typically, Europe is defined as going east until the Ural Mountains. That includes parts of Russia, and all of Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, etc.
It certainly includes all of Scandinavia. So yes, Norway, Sweden, and Finland are contiguous with Europe through European Russia.
Most of Turkey is considered to be Asia, but there is a small part that is European.
That said, Europe is not contiguous since the UK and Iceland are not connected to the main land mass.
