Have you ever stopped to wonder how many islands there are in the world? The definition of an island is a little spotty sometimes, so it's hard to say if those two trees on a clump of dirt in the pond at grandma's place count as an island or not (but let's just look at the world's oceans and say that there are around 2,000 of them out there). Islands can range from the tiniest little uninhabited chunks of land at the end of an archipelago to the massive island of Greenland, which is over 840,000 square miles.
Most of us know the famous islands like Hawaii, Bermuda, Jamaica and other tropical destinations (islands known for their lush habitats and tropical climates). Places known for delicious fruits, relaxing beaches and exceptional resorts. When most people picture paradise, they imagine the palm trees and white sandy beaches of a place like Tobago, lounging in a chair under the sun and drinking right out of a coconut. Others might consider Rottnest Island and its friendly quokkas or the nightlife of a place like Ibiza to be the height of island fun in the world. Whatever your taste in island destinations, let's see how many you can ID from a map!
