well, if you take a lot of simple shape shaders that blend a power fractal, some clouds, a few warper and some other shaders... :D

I think the basic elements of that pic are more than possible. Its a great photo by the way, and very much what I hope we will get close too.

Wow man,
can you image doing this one in TG2: http://www.bigminutes.com/balaa-sinkhole-in-lebanon/
never mind the water for a sec, just think about the terrain... That would be a very complex set of nodes! lol
Imagine floating the camera up through those openings. That would be pretty great.

Thanks for the links Kadri, I like the iceland one the best.

hrr, that would be amazing...
I think you would need to model these bridges out of three spheres. The rest isn't that hard to make.
As there is some strata, you could cover up the transition between planets and terrain with the strata from below and with grass from top.
But getting the spheres in shape will be a lot of work....(stretch in one direction, blow up the sides in both x and z, bend outwards in y....)

sadly, theres no way to punch holes through the terrain atm that would allow you to fly through.

Best regards,
Sönke
