an island, or a continent
There's water on all the continents.
Australia :)
No, Antarctica is a continent.
By geographic convention, a continent is a continent and NOT an island. Therefore, Greenland is the largest island in the world (as part of North America) and Australia is a continent.
Australia is referred to as the island continent because it is both a country and a continent surrounded by water, making it the largest island in the world. It is also the smallest continent in terms of land area, yet it is considered a continent due to its size and geologic nature.
All continents have coastlines with salt water, including North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, South America, and Antarctica. The oceans are interconnected, so salt water can be found around all continents.
The salt water around the continent of Antarctica is called the Southern Ocean.
An land mass surrounded by water smaller than a continent is called an island.
No.Antarctica is a continent (there is fresh water ice on land and in the salt water sea around Antarctica).
Both Australia and Antarctica are island continents. They are classified as continents, but they are completely surrounded by water.
The Louis and Clark Expedition helped prove that there was not an all water route across the Continent
