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 square miles). For comparison, continental landmasses are also shown.
Continental land masses These figures are rough approximations only. Note: Australia, at 7,600,000 km², is considered to be a continental landmass, rather than an island. Australia is much larger than Greenland, the largest island. Islands over 2,500 km² Islands over 1,000 km² This section of the list is not comprehensive; it shows how the areas of other large islands compare. Other notable islands This section of the list is far from comprehensive. See also | ||||||||
