How Many Continents Are Islands?
Only one. Australia is the world’s largest island and smallest continent. Please be careful of making the distinction of Australia as being because it is the only single nation continent. That is true but is not the defining reason making Australia a continent. All continents on Earth are washed by more than one Ocean. Australia sits between the Pacific, the Indian and the Southern Oceans. The next largest island on Earth is Greenland but it is only within one ocean, the Atlantic so fails the test of being a continent.
