List of islands by area

This is a list of islands in the world ordered by area. It includes all islands with an area greater than 2,500 km² (970 sq mi), and several other islands over 500 km² (193 sq mi). For comparison, continental landmasses are also shown.

Continental landmasses

These figures are approximations.

Rank	Landmass	Area (km2)	Area (sq mi)	Country or countries
1	Afro-Eurasia	84,400,000	32,500,000	Various
2	Americas	42,300,000	16,400,000	Various
3	Antarctica	13,000,000	5,000,000	None (various countries have territorial claims)
4	Australia	7,600,000	2,900,000	Australia

Notes:

• Australia is more than three times the size of Greenland, the largest island. Australia is sometimes dubbed 'The Island Continent', and sometimes accorded the role of "Earth’s largest island but smallest continent".^[1]
• Antarctica is a special case: if its ice is considered not as land, but as water, it is not a single land mass, but a number of land areas of much smaller area, since the ice-bedrock boundary is below sea level in many regions of the continent. However, if its ice cover were to be actually lifted, some rock that is currently below sea level would rise as the weight of the ice would be removed.^[2] Still, if the ice cover was melted or moved into the ocean, the sea level would rise considerably (several tens of meters), again covering parts of the land mass.

Islands over 250,000 km² (97,000 sq mi)

Traditionally, landmasses completely or mostly surrounded by water are classified as continents (when they are large enough) or islands. According to this classification, mainland Australia (7.6 million km²) is the smallest continent and Greenland (2.1 million km²) is the largest island. Thus the list of islands begins with Greenland.

Rank	Island’s name	Area (km2)[3]	Area (sq mi)	Country or countries
1	Greenland*	2,130,800[4]	822,706	Greenland, constituent country of the  Kingdom of Denmark

3	Borneo	748,168	288,869	Brunei,  Indonesia (Central, East, South and West Kalimantan) and  Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak)
4	Madagascar	587,713	226,917	Madagascar

6	Sumatra	443,066	171,069	Indonesia (Aceh, Bengkulu, Jambi, Lampung, Riau and North, South and West Sumatra)

* It is thought that beneath the ice sheet Greenland may actually be three separate islands.^[6] This is a matter of definition more than anything else, if the parts where the ice reaches below the sea level is land or sea. The usual definition gives that Greenland is one major island.
