Where is the world’s largest island located?

The world’s largest island by area is Greenland, covering about 2.16 million square kilometers (836,331 square miles). Although it is geographically part of North America, Greenland is politically an autonomous territory of Denmark. The island is mostly covered by an ice sheet and is sparsely populated, with most people living along the coast. Greenland has stunning natural landscapes, including glaciers, mountains, and fjords, and is a vital location for research on climate change and its effects on the Arctic.
