Concept information

Preferred term

small islands  

Definition(s)

  • While one can envision at a global scale that all land is an island between the Earth's vast oceans and seas, relatively small islands dot much of the globe, many of which can easily be traversed by foot in only a few hours. An accurate count of small islands is difficult, as the number changes with tidal conditions and minimum-size requirements. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Islands, Small]
