The crater lake on Volcano Island is the largest lake on an island in a lake on an island in the world. Moreover, this lake contains Vulcan Point, a small rocky island that projects from the surface of the crater lake, which was the remnant of the old crater floor that is now surrounded by the 2-kilometre (1.2 mi) wide lake, now referred to as the Main Crater Lake. Vulcan Point is often cited as the largest third-order island (island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island) in the world, though this is also claimed to be an unnamed Canadian island located within Victoria Island.

  • Largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island
  • Beautiful ... but not the largest. Vulcan Point is about 80 x 50 metres in area. There's an (unnamed) island in an (unnamed) lake on Glover Island in Grand Lake on the island of Newfoundland that's about 110 x 120 metres in area (it's at coordinates 47d 48m 48s N, 57d 39m 28s W)
