Do the  references to "high" water levels mean that it is near the top of the 
 
vent, or is it spreading out to 
form a pool?


This is probably in the eyes of the beholder. The other day I said "high"  
when, even though we were only a few hours after the previous Giant eruption, I  
could see water in the GIP while simply standing on the boardwalk. Of course  
I've see it higher on other occasions, but the circumstances were different  
then... The only time(s) I've seen it near the top of the vent/crater has  
been during hot periods...I think this is the sort of thing you gotta be around  
to experience for yourself, to make your own judgement.
