List of islands by area

none

none

This list includes all 332 islands in the world larger than 1,000 km2. For size and location reference, the four continental landmasses are also included. All landmasses are arranged in descending order.

Continental landmasses

Generally, the continental landmasses are not all classified as islands despite being completely surrounded by water. However, because the definition of continent varies between geographers, the Americas are sometimes defined as two separate continents while mainland Australia is sometimes defined as an island as well as a continent.

Nevertheless, for the purposes of this list, mainland Australia along with the other three major landmasses have been listed as continental landmasses for comparison. The figures are approximations and are for the four continental landmasses only.

78 countries and four de facto states on mainland Eurasia:
1. 38 countries and two de facto states on continental Asia.
2. 40 countries and two de facto states on continental Europe
IIAmerica (landmass)37,699,62337,699,623 km2Ten countries on mainland North America.
Twelve countries and an overseas department and region of France on mainland South America.
IIIAntarctica12,272,80012,272,800 km2NoneAntarctica is a special case, for if its ice is considered not as land, but as water, it is not a single landmass, but several landmasses of much smaller area, since the ice-bedrock boundary is below sea level in many regions of the continent. If its ice cover were to be lifted, some rocks that are currently below sea level would rise as the weight of the ice would be removed, although this would in part be counteracted, and in some areas of the continent overtaken, by eustatic rises in sea level.
