What is the locus of the vertices of isoceles triangles having the same base?

The vertex of an isosceles triangle is the point at the corner opposite the base. As the two equal sides start at their smallest limit -- half the base -- and get infintessimally longer, bit by bit, the vertex where they meet climbs higher and higher, the locus of such points forming THE PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR of the base.
