I remember suggesting a couple more similar sights during Island Week last year:

Placemark: Lake Tempe, Sulawesi, Philippines / Google Earth. If you look carefully, it looks like there is a 7-level island/lake system, although the smallest levels are artificial, as mentioned in this GEC post.
Completely natural is the Placemark: Taal volcano / Google Earth, still in the Philippines, with its crater lake. A 5-level system.
Also a volcano, the very spectacular Placemark: Krenitsyn / Google Earth. 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.

thanks for this funny though informative article!

I published on my personal blog a post which is basically a translation in French (with due credit and linkage) of your post. I hope you will not mind. (sorry I couldn't find how to trackback this post).

It’s nice to know I’m ahead of my time: now, if it was a cherry in the glass of a gorgeous blonde floating in the jacuzzi of a stretch limo on that island, I’d be starting to thing someone was setting us up here…

You also missed this one, or maybe you are saving it for last. 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.
