User:ThatSchoolEditor101/List of islands by area
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the list of islands by area sorted by descending order. This list only shows islands above 4 square kilometers.
This list of islands by area is a constant work in progress and will never be finished, just like Wikipedia.
This list contains many islands that the main article does not include outside its limits.
Excludings
These are not included in the list. The reason why they are excluded is because they are man-made or a continental landmass.
Artificial islands
Artificial islands are not included in the list because artificial islands are man-made, not natural. They are made by dredging a lot of sand or expanding small islands.
Some examples are Flevopolder, Yumeshima and Ellis Island.
You can see the list of artificial islands by area in this section.
Continental landmasses
The continental landmasses are not islands despite being surrounded by water.
Islands
Islands above 1,000 square kilometers
Islands from 101-1,000 square kilometers
Islands from 10-100 square kilometers
Islands from 4-9 square kilometers
