and 40 more islands, all in the quiz.

100 of the largest islands, not counting Antarctica's ice-covered islands unless they are included (Wikipedia's list of islands by area): land area in km² of the single island (not the island group or the country on it; continental landmasses such as Australia excluded). Areas are Wikidata's, or the island's own figure where Wikidata measures something else (a territory, an archipelago). Two islands are called Melville: the Canadian one in the Arctic (42,149 km²) and Australia's Tiwi island (5,765 km²), both listed.
