Which is the largest island in the world? (By the usual convention, Australia is counted as a continental landmass rather than an island.)

Erklärung

Greenland covers about 2.16 million square kilometres, close to three times the area of the runner-up, New Guinea. Roughly four fifths of it lies under an ice sheet up to three kilometres thick, so almost the entire population lives on a narrow ring of ice-free coast.
