Kort antwoord:<\/strong> Groenland is het grootste eiland ter wereld, met een oppervlakte van ruim 2,1 miljoen km\u00b2. Daarna volgen Nieuw-Guinea, Borneo, Madagaskar en Baffineiland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Australi\u00eb is nog veel groter dan Groenland, maar geldt als continent en niet als eiland. Zonder Australi\u00eb ziet de top 5 grootste eilanden er zo uit:<\/p>\n

De 5 grootste eilanden ter wereld<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Groenland<\/strong> (Denemarken): ruim 2,1 miljoen km\u00b2<\/li>\n
  2. Nieuw-Guinea<\/strong> (Indonesi\u00eb en Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea): ongeveer 821.000 km\u00b2<\/li>\n
  3. Borneo<\/strong> (Indonesi\u00eb, Maleisi\u00eb en Brunei): ongeveer 755.000 km\u00b2<\/li>\n
  4. Madagaskar<\/strong>: het op drie na grootste eiland<\/li>\n
  5. Baffineiland<\/strong> (Canada): ongeveer 507.000 km\u00b2<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Groenland<\/h2>\n

    Groenland ligt in de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan en hoort bij het Koninkrijk Denemarken, met veel zelfbestuur. Het grootste deel van het eiland is bedekt met een dikke ijskap. Volgens Britannica<\/a> is het het grootste eiland ter wereld. Reizigers komen voor de ijsbergen bij Ilulissat, het noorderlicht en de stilte.<\/p>\n

    Nieuw-Guinea<\/h2>\n

    Het op \u00e9\u00e9n na grootste eiland is volgens Britannica<\/a> Nieuw-Guinea, ten noorden van Australi\u00eb. Het westelijke deel hoort bij Indonesi\u00eb, het oostelijke deel is het land Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea. Het eiland heeft enorme regenwouden en een grote verscheidenheid aan talen en culturen.<\/p>\n

    Borneo<\/h2>\n

    Borneo is verdeeld tussen drie landen: Indonesi\u00eb, Maleisi\u00eb en Brunei (Britannica<\/a>). Het eiland is bekend om zijn regenwoud en orang-oetans.<\/p>\n

    Madagaskar<\/h2>\n

    Madagaskar ligt in de Indische Oceaan, voor de kust van Afrika. Volgens Britannica<\/a> is het het vierde eiland ter wereld. Veel planten en dieren, zoals de lemuren, komen nergens anders voor.<\/p>\n

    Baffineiland<\/h2>\n

    Baffineiland is het grootste eiland van Canada en het vijfde ter wereld (Britannica<\/a>). Het ligt grotendeels boven de poolcirkel en is dunbevolkt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
