Mont Faiere, Mountain summit in Sainte Amélie, Tahiti, France.
Mont Faiere rises above Tahiti island, providing views across the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding valleys of French Polynesia.
The summit served as a military command post in 1914 when Commander Destremeau selected it for the defense operations of Tahiti.
A commemorative plaque installed in October 1994 honors the scientific work of Czech researcher Milan Rastilav Stefanik at the summit.
The ascent of Mont Faiere requires proper hiking equipment and careful planning, particularly during the wet season when trails become slippery.
The original wooden observatory, built with a dome for telescope observations, burned down in September 1948 after decades of scientific service.
