I think they meant североамериканского континента.

Maybe they had already mentioned North America in a previous sentence and were referring to it as “the northern continent” after the fact. In English you can say the northern continent too, since this includes Canada, Mexico and Greenland, besides the US.

Ah, then we should explain that to Михаил.
Михаил, это предложение является частью текста, и ранее в нём упоминается «североамериканский (континент)»?
