    		Greenland is the largest island, Australia and Antarctica are continents. I highly recommend "Why Greenland is an Island, Australia is Not, and Japan is Up for Grabs" by Joyce Davis.

    		my dictionary defines island as " a piece of land surrounded by water"
    Australia is an island continent.
    And technically so is Antarctica.
    However it is generally accepted that Greenland is the biggest island.
