i dont think we can

that is positively awesome

an insular international or first class trisubdivisional point


i know the much larger islands of hispaniola & borneo can match this feat
technically
but it is not so impressive an accomplishment in their cases as it is when
tiny hison does it


i also think our local point pride in north america must be limited to more
mundane things like the triple tristate of kymotn
a purely secondary level ensemble
in the mississippi river
or the quinticounty of okeechobee
the tertiary level maxipoint apparent
in a lake
but we have never had anything anywhere near this cool on an island


i was also glad to see your other research & that you guys can dish up some
pretty fine topos yourselves
