Hi Jason,
  Thank you for your checking. Unfortunately, at 4am in the morning when I finished the page and added the last entry somehow the wrong coordinates were entered.

The webpage has been corrected to reflect the correct coordinates:

21?21'34.57 N, 17? 01' 33.66 W

  The diameter is about 35m and is in a not-so-friendly part of the world.

Dirk Ross...Tokyo
