Diamond Head, Volcanic crater in Honolulu, US
Diamond Head rises 232 meters above sea level, featuring a hiking trail that leads through tunnels and stairs to a panoramic viewpoint.
The United States military purchased the site in 1904, constructing bunkers and observation points that remain visible along the summit trail.
Native Hawaiians named this landmark Leahi, referencing its resemblance to a tuna's dorsal fin rising from the ocean's surface.
Visitors must secure advance reservations online, with entry fees of $5 per person and $10 for parking, while Hawaii residents enter free.
The crater contains a network of underground tunnels and military installations from the early 1900s that connect different defensive positions.
