Greenland may actually be three separate islands. This is a matter of definition more than anything else, if the parts where the ice reaches below the sea level is land or sea. The usual definition gives that Greenland is one major island.

, the largest island. Australia is sometimes dubbed 'The Island Continent', and sometimes accorded the role of "Earth’s largest island but smallest continent". - Antarctica is a special case: if its ice is considered not as land, but as water, it is not a single land mass, but a number of land areas of much smaller area, since the ice-bedrock boundary is below sea level in many regions of the continent. However, if its ice cover were to be actually lifted, some rock that is currently below sea level would rise as the weight of the ice would be removed. Still, if the ice cover was melted or moved into the ocean, the sea level would rise considerably (several tens of meters), again covering parts of the land mass.
