Aloha Friday Picture: Spectacular Aerial Views of Molokai Coasts

Mahalo to Karen Slimp for sharing these two beautiful Molokai aerial pictures with us for Aloha Friday Photos.

Karen’s first shot reveals a piece of Molokai’s southeastern shore. Discover how outstanding the coral reefs are. Molokai is residence to Hawaii’s longest, steady fringing reef. It’s estimated lengthen 28 miles alongside the southern shoreline.

Karen’s subsequent shot reveals the other aspect of Molokai. From this shot, we see the magnificent cliff line. Molokai’s sea cliffs are among the tallest in the world standing at roughly 3,600 to three,900 toes above sea stage.

Discover the flat peninsula in the direction of the highest proper of the above photograph. That’s Kalaupapa, which is now designated as a National Historical Park. This distant space is the place sufferers of Hansen’s illness (often known as leprosy) had been banished to within the 1800s. As we speak, a small inhabitants of cured Hansen’s illness sufferers stay in Kalaupapa. This distant peninsula, at current, it’s only accessed commercially by airplane.

Karen didn’t point out how she captured these fantastic images, however from the photograph of the cliffs, it appears like a helicopter propellor is in view. A number of helicopter companies from Maui provide excursions to see the Molokai.
