<div id="ygrps-yiv-604436088">the fabulous tripoint of ethiopia with kenya & sudan<br/>
formerly situated on the north shore of a vanishing<br/>
lake rudolf<br/>
& so now lost in a salt flat somewhere just nw of this<br/>
lake <br/>
which has subsequently been renamed turkana<br/>
had been known until now only from the carefully<br/>
worded disclaimers of brownlie & the state department<br/>

but has in fact just become the first tripoint with<br/>
entire monographs devoted to it<br/>

<br/>
& these btw not only treat etkesd primarily but also<br/>
mention all the other similarly neglected de jurcto<br/>
corners of the sudan<br/>
which have been previously asked about & discussed<br/>
here too<br/>
<br/>
for the best available map of this tripoint<br/>
click on the southwesternmost quad here<br/>

& then zoom repeatedly into its northeasternmost<br/>
corner<br/>
til the border trijunction comes into focus there<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
btw can anyone help with the russian words that appear<br/>
next to the tripoint<br/>
on the dry lake bed<br/>
which apparently transliterate into something like<br/>
loch sakch khudo<br/>
<br/>
dont tell me now<br/>
dry lake bed<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
for a stunning pic of the neighborhood<br/>
amounting however only to a remote class e visit<br/>
