The highest continent on Earth is the Antarctic Continent. The average elevation of the other several continents on Earth are as follows: Asia 950 meters, North America 700 meters, South America 600 meters, Africa 560 meters, Oceania 400 meters, and Europe the lowest, at only 300 meters. However, the Antarctic Continent, in terms of its natural surface, has an average elevation of 2350 meters, much higher than Asia, which is the highest among the other continents. But if the ice sheet covering the Antarctic Continent is stripped away, its average height is only 410 meters, much lower than the average height of land on the entire Earth.
