Mind if I throw one in, as I was just reading about this geographic curiosity...
There are three recognized “triple islands” in the world, that is, an island that is on an island that is itself on an island.
Name the countries where they are located. Hint two are in the same country (so you only need to name two countries :p: ).
Bonus points if you name the area, or the main (largest) island.
Double bonus points if you name the books on which these islands were written. Joking... :mark: :p: :dozey: .
I don't know the islands but I can name the books.....
Iceland and Greenland.
I would guess one or two are in northern Canada with maybe the Philippines being the other?
Two are in Canada, yes, but only one in the north. The other is on a relatively well-known island.
The other is in the Philippines, yes. I don't expect anyone to name the island (arguably :erm: ), so you can read about it here:

I still want the name of the Canadian island though :arrows:
As a Canuck, I believe that Manitoulin Island is the one you're looking for.
As a Canuck, I believe you are wrong. At least not the island I'm thinking of.
Think further east.
The only other obvious choice is Newfieland
