It's common for islands, and Antarctica is somewhat island-ish. For Long Island (New York), you say "on" it, and anyone who says "in Long Island" gets laughed

It's common for islands, and Antarctica is somewhat island-ish. For Long Island (New York), you say "on" it, and anyone who says "in Long Island" gets laughed at. I think the same goes for the Hawaiian islands and places like Key West. Although, funnily, we do say "in Manhattan", not "on" for that one.
