Funnily enough, Greenland is covered in Ice where Iceland is mostly green.

Nice work, Wokko! All correct (except 3 is technically New Guinea; Papua New Guinea is only the name of the country that occupies the eastern half)

The only other ones I could guess off the top of my head were 12 (Sulawesi) and 16 (Newfoundland).

If it helps, three of the others are in Canada and the other three are in South-East Asia.
