To climb the Seven Summits is to climb the highest mountain on each of the Seven Continents

What are the Seven Summits? Well, first define the Seven Continents.

The world mainly agrees on the definition boundaries of 6 of the 7 continents. But how about Australia? Are the islands included? For instance, is Great Britain part of Europe? Is Catalina or Manhattan part of North America?Most say yes. So then, most of the world - and geographical experts say that the continent of Australia is more accurately named Oceania, to include the Islands. So then, how is Oceania defined?

Many thought it would be the continental shelf or tectonic plate of Australia/Oceania. But then why are Europe and Asia - which is one continental shelf and tectonic plate - two separate continents?

The answer is that continents are not just geophysical, but also geopolitical/cultural. So the cartographers and geographical experts have defined Oceania to include Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and many coral atolls and small islands. But NOT the west side of the island of New Guinea, which is Indonesia (Asia).
