Which is the biggest island in the world

We might say that Australia is the biggest island, for its vast land mass is surrounded on all sides by ocean water  But Australia is too big to be an island  Some people there live so far inland that they never get a glimpse of the sea  So, the experts say that Australia must be classed as a continent 

This leaves Greenland as the largest island in the world  This chilly land is about three times larger than Texas and most of it is covered by glaciers and snowy white ice fields  You will find the world’s largest island in the far northern ocean between Canada and Scandinavia,
