[edit] Continental land masses

These figures are rough approximations only.

Rank	Continent	Area (km²)	Area (sq mi)
1	Africa-Eurasia	84,000,000	32,000,000
2	The Americas	41,000,000	16,000,000
3	Antarctica	13,000,000	5,000,000
4	Australia	7,600,000	2,900,000

Note: Australia, at 7,600,000 km², is considered to be a continental landmass, rather than an island. Australia is much larger than Greenland, the largest island.
