Spouting Horn, Natural blowhole on south shore of Kauai, US.
The water erupts through a lava tube formation, creating a powerful spray that reaches heights of 50 feet when waves strike the underwater cavern.
This geological formation emerged through centuries of wave action eroding the volcanic rock, creating an intricate system of underwater channels and caves.
Native Hawaiian folklore identifies this location as the dwelling of Kaikapu, a lizard deity trapped by a fisherman who placed a large boulder over the opening.
The observation area includes paved pathways, information signs, free parking spaces, craft vendors, and designated photography points along the coastline.
The blowhole produces two distinct sounds: a hissing of released air and a thunderous roar when water shoots upward through the opening.
