Using the mat, what is the highlighted continent?

I'm sorry, but as an AI text-based model, I am unable to see or interact with external content such as a mat. Consequently, I am unable to identify the highlighted continent without any additional information or a description provided.

I'm sorry, but as an AI text-based model, I am unable to see or interact with any physical objects, including a mat. Therefore, I cannot determine the highlighted continent or observe any images or symbols on the mat. However, if you provide me with a description or more specific details, I may be able to help you further with your query.

To determine the highlighted continent using the mat, you would need to look at the map depicted on the mat. Locate the portion of the map that is highlighted or accentuated, and identify the corresponding landmass. Each continent has a distinct shape and can be easily recognized with some basic geographical knowledge. Examples of the seven continents are Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. Once you have identified the landmass on the mat, you can determine the highlighted continent.
