Murisipán-tepui

Murisipán-tepui, also spelled Murosipán or Murochiopán, is one of the four main tepuis of the Los Testigos chain in Bolívar, Venezuela.

Murisipán-tepui has an elevation of around 2,350 metres (7,700 ft) and a summit area of 5 km2 (1.9 sq mi).

The mountain's mostly bare summit plateau has a small, seasonal lagoon near its centre.

[1] In his 1978 book, La Vegetación del Mundo Perdido, Charles Brewer-Carías applied the name Murochiopán-tepui to a smaller lateral peak of Aparamán-tepui (05°52′32″N 62°06′48″W / 5.87556°N 62.11333°W / 5.87556; -62.11333 (lateral mountain of Aparamán Tepui)), calling the high summit immediately east of it Tereke Yurén-tepui and the tiny peak east of that, Tucuy-wo-cuyén-tepui.

Subsequent authors have generally used Murisipán-tepui (or its variants) for the second of the four main peaks, and Tereke-yurén-tepui for the third, with the lateral mountain of Aparamán-tepui going unnamed.
