Note: Australia, at 7,600,000 km², is more than three times the size of Greenland, the largest island. However, Australia is sometimes considered 'The Island Continent'.[1]
Islands over 250,000 km²
Although an island is, in general, any land mass that is completely surrounded by water, some definitions exclude land masses large enough to be considered continents. Placing Australia in the latter category (even though arguments can be made whether it is technically a continent, or merely part of the larger continent called Australasia) makes Greenland the largest island. For the sake of classification the list of islands will begin with Greenland.
