If you look carefully, it looks like there is a 7-level island/lake system, although the smallest levels are artificial, as mentioned in <a href="http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/63026/page/vc/vc/1" rel="nofollow"> this GEC post</a>. 2. Completely natural is the <a href="http://maps.google.com.au/maps?ll=14.00866,121.00045&z=14&t=h&hl=en" rel="nofollow">Taal volcano</a>, still in the Philippines, with its crater lake. A 5-level system. 3. Also a volcano, the very spectacular <a href="http://maps.google.com.au/maps?ll=49.34603,154.71727&z=12&t=h&hl=en" rel="nofollow">Krenitsyn</a>. Only a 3-level Russian doll case (of course!) but an awesome sight, check out http://www.lkirchner.de/onekotan/onekotan/krenitsyn/krenitsyn.html">these photos.

It's Lake Manicouagan which has René-Levasseur Island in it's middle, which has many many lakes with islands on it's 72Km diameter bulk. And then it's got Mount Babel in the middle of the island. OK, it's the third largest crater on earth, it's pretty kewl. You also missed this one, or maybe you are saving it for last.
