now dont get too excited because this isnt an erupting multipoint yet
nor even a multipoint at all
http://terraserver-usa.com/image.aspx?t=2&s=14&x=82&y=671&z=5&w=2
& it may not even be a real boundary point for that matter
since it involves only the thin red sort of line we just met at mauna loa
trying to stretch adams thick red molten tripoint into a quadripoint
& i still havent figured out what such a line is supposed to separate from
what

but the find is still very clearly another giant step in the desired
direction
& indeed the first known case of a simple turn point vertex fixed within a
crater
rather than at a summit

nor is this just any crater but the recently active halemaumau crater in
kilauea caldera
official residence of the volcano goddess pele herself
so what could be more propitious of continuing success

& for an account of the molten vortex centered on this erupting turn point
or vertex
