Which of the following is the largest island in the world ?
Greenland
Australia is treated as a continent, so the largest island in the world is Greenland, with an area of about 21.7 lakh square km; it is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark in the North Atlantic.
The next largest islands are New Guinea (about 7.86 lakh square km), Borneo (about 7.43 lakh square km) and Madagascar (about 5.87 lakh square km).
So Greenland is far larger than each of the other three islands in the list.
Hence, Greenland.
