Painted Cliffs of Kanaloa

A vivid cross-section of Kahoʻolawe’s volcanic past. The island’s eroded sea cliffs reveal layers of geologic time—oxidized reds, basaltic blacks, and sulfur-stained yellows—each telling a story of ancient eruptions, weathering, and resilience. A striking glimpse into the raw beauty and natural history of Hawaiʻi’s “Target Isle.”
