I read from the website and it tell me that researchs are agrue that Greeland should be continent or island.

What do you think it should be?
 
i believe it should be a continent :dunno: what the argument will settle on LOL -- at least if i remmy my world geography from HS it was said to be a continent even tho its an island
 
Grønland is part of Denmark, and NOT a continent.

There are only 7 continents on this planet:
North and South Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and Antarctica.

Grønland is part of North America, even though they are possessed by an European country.

I am surprise that Greeland is very closer to North America. :|

It's funny...and I'm glad to hear that you are AWARE that Australia's a CONTINENT, not an ISLAND as commonly thought in the past.
I was asked quite a few times whether Australia was a large island. I had to explain to them that Australia wasn't an island, but a continent cos it's just as big as the USA. You can see it for yourself at this link I'm going to supply that'll show comparison between Australia and other countries as well. Here you go: National Mapping - comparing sizes of Australia to other countries
