Why is Antarctica not an island, when it is not connected to any above-sea landmass and Australia is considered to be an island (continent)? Thank you
In: Other
It’s 580% bigger than the largest landmass we say not a continent (Greenland).
Yes it’s an arbitrary definition but the difference between Greenland and Antarctica/Australia is much bigger than Greenland and New Guniea / Borneo.
So Greenland becomes Island, Antarctica becomes continent.
