In which country is the smallest island in the world? What's the name of this island?

First of all, it is worth correcting some mistakes in going upstairs. Nauru is the smallest island, but Nauru is not the smallest island. Huangyan Island is small, but it is far from the smallest island. Chongming Island and Taohua Island are much bigger than Nauru.

According to the definition of an island in the Convention on the Law of the Sea, "an island is a naturally formed land area surrounded by water and exposed at high tide". Article 12 1 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea "Rocks that cannot sustain human habitation or their own economic life should not have an exclusive economic zone or a continental shelf".

Therefore, the definition of island is very complicated. Broadly speaking, the mound protruding from the pond is also an island, and the smallest island is out of the question, only smaller, not smallest.

According to the standard of "being able to maintain human habitation or economic life", Greenland with an area of 2,654,380+0.5 million square kilometers is an island below sea level to a coral island.

Moreover, affected by ocean erosion, ocean accumulation and human activities, the area of smaller islands may change greatly, and the number of small islands is as many as stars. Knowing the smallest island, I am afraid no one can do it.
