Kitty (or anyone else for that matter......)
    I have skimmed thru the link you provided for information on Lo'ihi
but can't find reference to the moving hot spot.
As an educator I'd like to have/read the article or any scientific
data/findings reporting on the moving hot spot.
This list has been a wealth of information in the past and I'm hopping
you wont mind being slightly off topic (not a collecting topic).
If you would rather contact me off list I'm at

Thank You in advance

The new island is called Lo'ihi and you can find a lot of information 
about it by googling that word (you don't have to type the apostrophe 
to get results).  The following is a good site with pictures in a 
"virtual tour."
