Kalaupapa National Historical Park

A few panoramic scenes around Kalaupapa

What's it like here? One way to see for yourself is to stand in one place and slowly turn around, taking in all of the view. These images can do that for you. Click the image or the text link to experience these places.

Please see the Quicktime VR information below if you are unfamiliar with this type of panoramic photography or viewing them on your computer.

There is also a link to a "flat" or unwrapped version of each pan if you have trouble viewing the VR panoramics. Click on the alternative link to see these and the browser will open a new window. You will need to scroll sideways to see the entire image.

Kauhako Crater

Near the top of Kauhako Crater are several graves, thought to be associated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the turn of the century. There also stands a large cross erected by the Lions Club. The view is stunning, with the community of Kalaupapa below, the cliffs behind and the Pacific Ocean surrounding the peninsula. (91K file)

Molokai Lighthouse

The land near Kahiu Point is flat and windy. Lantana, an introduced plant, grows low in the constant ocean wind. Walls built by the Hawaiians are here and stretch back towards the cliffs in the distance. Though near the airport, there is a strong sense of isolation. (85K File)
