Lista wysp świata według powierzchni

Artykuł zawiera listę wysp świata uszeregowanych według malejącej powierzchni. Wymienione są wszystkie pojedyncze wyspy o powierzchni powyżej 2500 km² oraz część mniejszych; pole powierzchni archipelagów jako całości nie jest brane pod uwagę.
W źródłach istnieją poważne rozbieżności, co do powierzchni poszczególnych wysp. Poniższe dane pochodzą z listy Programu Środowiskowego Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych[1], chyba że przypis wskazuje inne źródło. Pole powierzchni wysp podlega zmianom w czasie, w związku z procesami erozji, sedymentacji, wulkanizmu i wahaniami poziomu otaczających je zbiorników wodnych. Przykładowo wyspa Tupinambarana w Brazylii, z powierzchnią 11 850 km2 była 66. co do wielkości wyspą świata, ale obecnie nurt otaczającej rzeki podzielił ją na cztery mniejsze wyspy.
Niektóre wyspy Antarktyki są pokryte w całości przez lodowce i trudno jest dokładnie podać ich rzeczywistą powierzchnię.

Flag of New Zealand. Specification: http://www.mch.govt.nz/nzflag/description.html , quoting New Zealand Gazette, 27 June 1902.
The flag of the Dominican Republic has a centered white cross that extends to the edges. This emblem is similar to the flag design and shows a bible, a cross of gold and 6 Dominican flags. There are branches of olive and palm around the shield and above on the ribbon is the motto "Dios,Patria!, Libertad" ("God, Country, Freedom") and to amiable freedom. The blue is said to stand for liberty, red for the fire and blood of the independence struggle and the white cross symbolized that God has not forgotten his people. "Republica Dominicana". The Dominican flag was designed by Juan Pablo Duarte, father of the national Independence of Dominican Republic. The first dominican flag was sewn by a young lady named Concepción Bona, who lived across the street of El Baluarte, monument where the patriots gathered to fight for the independence, the night of February 27th, 1844. Concepción Bona was helped by her first cousin María de Jesús Pina.

Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
The flag of Navassa Island is simply the United States flag. It does not have a "local" flag or "unofficial" flag; it is an uninhabited island. The version with a profile view was based on Flags of the World and as a fictional design has no status warranting a place on any Wiki. It was made up by a random person with no connection to the island, it has never flown on the island, and it has never received any sort of recognition or validation by any authority. The person quoted on that page has no authority to bestow a flag, "unofficial" or otherwise, on the island.

Credit Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS Rapid Response Team, NASA/GSFC The island of Sardinia sits between the Mediterranean Sea to the south and west and the Tyrrhenian Sea to the east. To its immediate north is the island of Corsica, which is a part of France. To the east of Sardinia is the middle of the Italian peninsula (not shown). Sardinia glows here with the green blush of spring.
Sardinia has had a tumultuous history. Starting in ancient times, the island was occupied by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans; thereafter it was controlled by Vandals, Byzantines, and a long string of rulers of Italian city-states. In the late 15th century, Sardinia came under the control of Spain, then in the early 18th century was passed to the Austrians. It briefly fell to Spanish occupation in 1717, but by 1720 was given over again to the control of Italian rule. This true-color Aqua MODIS image was acquired on April 27, 2003.Satellite image of Amund Ringnes Island
Unimak Island, Alaska, United States - September 1992
Seen in this southwest-looking, low-oblique photograph is Unimak Island, Alaska, the largest island in the Aleutian chain. The major volcano on the island (snow-capped peak at the center of the photograph), Shishaldin, rises approximately 9400 feet (2860 meters) and has been active during the last 175 years, with several eruptions occurring recently. The volcano is known locally as "Smoking Moses." At the southwestern end of the island is the snow-capped Pogromni Volcano. The blue lake situated in a large volcanic caldera, which can be seen midway between the Pogromni and Shishaldin volcanoes, is the result of a now extinct volcano that collapsed.

Satellite image of Madagascar in September 2003. Slightly cropped, original taken from NASA's Visible Earth: [1]. Original description:
- The world's fourth largest island, Madagascar, is featured in this Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image taken by the Terra satellite on September 10, 2003. Several active fires, marked with red dots, burn in the central highlands, which are primarily covered with rice fields. The fires are probably controlled burns to clear farmland. The narrow strip of green along the east coast of the island is a rain forest. The west coast is lined with baobabs, a desert tree with a fat trunk, and thorny forest.

Fernandina Island; Galapagos Islands, Ecuador Fall/Winter 1996
The Galapagos Islands comprise a volcanic archipelago with 21 major islands located approximately 600 miles (965 kilometers) west of Ecuador. Named for their endemic large turtles, these islands, although isolated from much of the world, are known internationally for their beauty and unique flora and fauna. Theirs is a fragile environment that the government of Ecuador is trying to protect. Isabela, the seahorse-shaped and largest island, is about 82 miles (132 kilometers) long. Wolf Volcano, the northernmost and tallest (5600 feet - 1707 meters), is situated almost exactly on the equator. Fernandina, the roughly oval-shaped island west of Isabela, is the youngest of the volcanic islands and is still geologically active, with a most recent eruption occurring in 1995. Notice that calderas have formed in the shield volcanoes that formed the islands. The variety of colors on the islands indicate different ages of lava flows and also illustrate the impact that the elevations of the volcanic cones have on rainfall patterns from one side of the islands to the other. Note the lack of “color” on the northwest slopes or sides of the volcanoes, indicating the “rain-shadow effect.”

- The islands of Japan are shown clearly off the coast of North and South Korea, China, and Russia in this true-color image. Running down through the islands are a string of mountains that make up part of the Pacific “Ring of Fire.†The Ring of Fire is a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that stretches in a series of arcs from New Zealand, through Indonesia, up through the Philippines, Japan, the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka Peninsula (Russia), across the Pacific Ocean via the Aleutian Islands, and down the coast of the Americas. Seventy-five percent of the world’s volcanoes are in this ring, making it the most volcanically-active region on the planet. Also shown in this image are a number of fires, which are marked with red dots. A few fires were detected in Japan, China, and North Korea, but the majority were detected in Russia’s Primorskiy-Kray region. This true-color Aqua MODIS image was acquired on May 1, 2003.

This image provides a nearly cloud-free view of the South Island of New Zealand, from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite.
From Earth Observatory website:
Colors ranging from deep brown to stark white give New Zealand’s South Island its intense beauty. The snow-capped Southern Alps run down the northern shore of the island. The highest peak in the range (and in New Zealand) is Aoraki/Mount Cook at 3,754 meters (12,316 ft). The mountains are rising as the Pacific Plate, the section of the Earth’s crust that holds the Pacific Ocean, including parts of New Zealand’s South Island, sinks beneath the Australia Plate, which holds the rest of New Zealand. The collision between the two plates pushes the mountains up and fosters volcanoes on the country’s North Island. Not only do the mountains mark the line between two tectonic plates, they also create different climate regions, which are visible in the image.
The shoreline west of the mountains receives more rain than any other place in the South Island. The rain-drenched shoreline is deep green, covered by temperature rain forests. To the south, the shore turns dark brown where rocky mountain terrain extends to the Pacific Ocean. Fingers of water cut into the western shore where glaciers cut deep fjords over time.
The landscape on the east side of the mountains is dramatically different. Hidden in the rain shadow of the Southern Alps, the region receives less rain than its neighbor and is correspondingly tan instead of green. The dry landscape is punctuated by alpine glacier lakes that hang like sapphire and aquamarine pendants from the mountain chain. Rivers also drain melting snow from the south side of the mountains into the Pacific Ocean. Over eons, the rivers have deposited finely ground rock from the mountains onto the landscape below, building nutrient-rich alluvial plains. Sediment washing into the ocean colors the water green blue. Spots of bright green accentuate the plains, an indication that these regions are cultivated. The large image reveals the grid of green made by fields of crops across the plains.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this photo-like image of the South Island on December 7, 2007, as spring began to give way to summer in this southern location. Places where the sensor detected fire are marked with red circles. The large image has a resolution of 250 meters per pixel, the highest resolution image available. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides the image in additional resolutions.

The Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia Forming the southern arc of central Indonesia, the Lesser Sunda Islands link the island of Java (west) to the island of Timor (east). The islands stretch 1,200 kilometers west to east, and traverse the waters of the Timor, Sawu, Banda, and Flores Seas, as well as the Indian Ocean. Dotted across the islands are a number of fires, which are marked in bright red. Two tiny islands in this chain, Komodo and Rinca, are famous for being the home of dragons —of the non-mythical variety. Komodo Dragons are four-legged monitor lizards that are extremely fierce. They can weigh up to 130 kg (287 lbs) and grow to be over 3 meters (about 10 feet) in length. Komodo Dragons are a protected species, with only about 5700 of them living on these two and other smaller local islands. Komodo, Rinca, and Padar Islands (as well as numerous smaller islands) are part of Komodo National Park, which was established in 1980, and which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1991. Komodo Island is located just to the west of Flores Island, which is the long thin island dotted with numerous fires in the upper center of the image. This true-color Terra MODIS image was acquired on August 30, 2003.

West of British Columbia, Canada, and south of the Yukon Territory, the southeastern coastline of Alaska trails off into the islands of the Alexander Archipelago. The area is rugged and contains many long, U-shaped, glaciated valleys, many of which terminate at tidewater. The Alexander Archipelago is home to Glacier Bay National Park. The large bay that has two forks on its northern end is Glacier Bay itself. The eastern fork is Muir inlet, into which runs the Muir glacier, named for the famous Scottish-born naturalist John Muir. Glacier Bay opens up into the Icy Strait. The large, solid white area to the west is Brady Icefield, which terminates at the southern end in Brady's Glacier.
A true-colour satellite view of Tasmania, including Flinder's Island, taken in the spring of 2005.
Description from NASA's Visible Earth website: http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view.php?id=74906
Tasmania was emerald green with the flush of late spring when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image on November 16, 2005. The western half of the island is covered with dense forest, which is darker green than grasslands in the east. Sitting below 40 degrees South, the island is the only part of Australia able to support a temperate rainforest. Above the northeast corner of Tasmania are Flinders Island (top), Cape Barren Island (center), and Clarke Island (closest to Tasmania). Tasmania is thought to have been a part of mainland Australia until the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago when sea levels rose and made Tasmania into an island.Autor: Magalhães, Licencja: CC-BY-SA-3.0

It is easy to see from this true-colour image why Ireland is called the Emerald Isle. Intense green vegetation, primarily grassland, covers most of the country except for the exposed rock on mountaintops. Ireland owes its greenness to moderate temperatures and moist air. The Atlantic Ocean, particularly the warm currents in the North Atlantic Drift, gives the country a more temperate climate than most others at the same latitude.

The western and central parts of Crete appear surrounded by quicksilver in this astronaut photograph taken from the International Space Station. This phenomenon is known as sunglint, caused by light reflecting off of the sea surface directly toward the observer. The point of maximum reflectance is visible as a bright white region to the north-west of the island. Surface currents causing variations in the degree of reflectance are visible near the south-western shoreline of Crete and the smaller island of Gavdos (image lower left).

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image of Langila, Ulawun, and Rabaul the same day. At the time MODIS captured this image, Langila showed the biggest plume of volcanic ash, followed by Ulawun. Both volcanoes are enlarged below the main image. In all cases, winds pushed the ash clouds to the northwest, over the ocean.
