Islands by area. The curve matches a power-law distribution with an R2 of 0.992. Data taken from this list as of April 2008. 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.

Australia
Note: Australia , at 7,600,000 km² , is here considered a continental landmass rather than an island . Australia is more than three times the size of Greenland, the largest island. However, Australia is sometimes considered 'The Island Continent'.[ 1]
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 .
