    Proputovao je sve kontinente osim Antarktika. — He has travelled to every continent except Antarctica.
  2. (as opposed to islands) mainland

Crni kontinent corresponds to the dated English expression 'the Dark Continent'; it still appears in Serbian journalism, but can be felt as a colonial cliché, so 'Africa' is the safer translation.

Expressions
  • Crni kontinent — Africa
    Oduvek je sanjao da putuje po Crnom kontinentu. — He always dreamed of travelling around Africa.
