There are approximately 45,000 "tropical islands" (above-water mountains and reefs) in the oceans and their seas, that are large enough for humans and animals to inhabit. Deep-water islands include those in Polynesia (Oceania), on the Asian coastline, in the South Atlantic, in the Indian ocean, and in the Arctic.
There are millions of islands larger than a few meters, either along the continental coasts (barrier islands) or in the lakes of the interior. There are over 25,000 named lake islands in the US alone.
