But incompetentest, since I said "feet" when I meant "metres" - I sent
a quick correction but it has disappeared into Yahoo limbo these last
24 hours.
That lovely image of the Guyana-Brazil-Venezuela tripoint marker
raises another, similar problem. Roraima is the highest point in
Guyana, but not in Brazil or Venezuela. The marker (from the picture
and accompanying text) obviously isn't at the highest point of
Roraima, so now I wonder if that Guyanese highest point is the top of
Roraima, or if the top lies in one of the other countries, leaving
some lesser height to Guyana.
