The panama canal is not an ocean...and man made. No amount of squinting could make it a reasonable argument to count it.

    Then you don't count Africa either?

    In fact if it has to be surrounded by an ocean then there are only two continents, Antarctica and everything else. You can cross them all without entering an ocean, only seas.

    Technically no, not when using the same argument.

    Although Australia is also surrounded by ocean so Antarctica, Australia, and everything else

    Australia (country) has Timor Sea and Arafura Sea on the north, not an ocean. But New Guinea belongs to Australia (continent), so it doesn't actually matter, both sides of the sea are the same continent. Unless we consider only the main landmass of each continent and ignore all islands.

    Panama, with it's canal, is entirely in North America too, so the canal doesn't matter anyway.
