Not all continents, no. Islands are bodies of land surrounded by water on all sides, no? Wouldn’t Antarctica and Australia then qualify by that definition?

    I mean every landmass is surrounded on all sides by water though

    But most of the land that are considered continents are connected to one or kore other land, and thus couldn’t be defined as an island.

    Though, after reading a few other comments, it seems the definition of what makes a continent a continent is apparently subject to debate.

    This is why we can’t have nice things.
