This is looking down on top of Diamond Head. It is believed that Diamond Head Crater (also known as Mount Leahi) was created by a single explosive eruption of steam and ash about 150,000 years ago. It is an almost perfect circle with a diameter of 3520 ft, floor area of 175 acres and is 760 ft high at it's peak. Back in ancient times there were 5 heiau (places of worship) located here, but none are present today.
