Incredible Kahoolawe

Kahoolawe is the most commonly forgotten island because it is the smallest of the eight islands. It is only a total 44.6 square miles long. However, the highest point is different in that it is a crater which is 1,477 feet high. (That is actually higher than Nihau’s highest peak). It is called Lua Makiki and is located on the top of Pu’u Moaulanui. As opposed to Kauai, which is the wettest island, Kahoolawe is one of the driest islands. This is due to the low elevation levels as well as being in the “rain shadow” of Maui’s 10,000 foot high Volcano. As of now, due to lack of resources, there are no current inhabitants living on the island. It is a gorgeous place, but isn’t developed enough for people to actually live on. It is a place to appreciate the natural beauty that we have been given. Now, on to the next location.

The first picture, located within the description, is of Lua Makiki in Kahlooawe. The second photo is another angle of Lua Makiki. The third is just the typical map of the island. The fourth is of the dry lands on the island. The fifth is of the beautiful parts of Kahoolawe.
