List of countries by largest island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of countries by largest island. It does not include divided islands; several of the world's largest islands, such as New Guinea, Borneo, Ireland and Hispaniola, are divided between two or three countries. This list only includes islands fully owned by a single country. Similarly, many of the world's largest islands belong to a handful of countries, such as Indonesia; only the largest island of each country is listed here.
