Depends on what you think of as the boundaries of Europe - the area quoted includes areas of land that many people I speak with don't include.
It's easiest just to let people overlay the map.
Added in edit: Europe does in fact extend a lot further North-East than people think, and when you include that area - yes - Europe is bigger. The actual overlay still surprises people.
