Biggest Islands of European Countries Outside of Europe

Guess the largest islands outside the geographical borders of Europe, that are external territories of european countries.
Only those european countries count, that have their mainland entirely in Europe. (e.g. Russia and Sakhalin does not).
We are looking for only those islands, that have at least non-permanent residents.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge isn't part of Afro-Eurasia or the Americas for the purposes of this quiz.

so what is it part of? Anyway, Jan Mayen is NOT on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, it is in the Arctic Ocean on the Eurasian plate, clearly EUROPE!
