It's been over a month since the last MVP, so I thought it might be time to throw out another. Last time, Chris Reykjavik got the right answer - Kaula Island in Hawai`i (top left), a remnant of a tuff cone on a shield volcano - after what might be a record number of guesses by the Eruptions crew. Hopefully the new one will give you similar fits.

The standings:

  • Boris Behncke - 7

  • Don Crain - 5

  • The Bobs - 4

  • Chris Reykjavik - 3

  • gijs - 2

  • Jan Nygard - 1

  • Cole Kingsbury - 1

  • Manuela - 1

  • Phillip Mulholland - 1

  • Eva Hedstrom - 0.5

UPDATE: Robert Somerville got #41 on the very first guess (see comments), so I'm adding a second image ... try your luck on this one:
