That was quite the surprise. One I could see, but not two.
And none of the 100 largest are in Florida. That's my other surprise takeaway.

Approximately 34 percent of those 100 largest islands have no population. And one of them, Long Island, has more people than the other 99 combined.

It's kind of like being out on a really cold day, and you stop into a restaurant for a few minutes to have a delicious cup of hot chocolate. You know that you eventually have to go back out, but it feels so good while you're inside.

However, the largest island in the United States (Hawaii's Big Island) is only the world's 76th largest island.
Canada's Baffin Island is the 5th largest in the world. Get with the program, United States. Sheesh. |

Even worse. Antarctica, which has one single national claim, but is shared by multiple countries, has THREE islands larger than our Big Island.

We really need to improve our island sizes if we want to keep up with the rest of the world.

So how big does something have to be before it's too big to be called an island and becomes a...well, whatever it becomes once it's too big to be considered an island?
