Kaena Point Satellite Tracking Station

La Kaena Point Satellite Tracking Station (station de repérage par satellite de Kaena Point) est une installation militaire de l'United States Space Force à Kaena Point, sur l’île d’Oahu, à Hawaï. Il s’agit d’une station de suivi du Satellite Control Network (en), chargée du suivi des satellites en orbite. La station a été inaugurée en 1959 pour soutenir Corona, un programme de satellites de reconnaissance précoce. Elle est sur un terrain de 153 acres. Le 3e détachement du 22d Space Operations Squadron (en), qui fait partie de la 50th Space Wing, exploite la Hawaï Tracking Station sur le site. En 2018, dix-huit employés civils travaillent également sur le site. L'installation est située près du point le plus à l'ouest de l'île d'Oahu, au sommet d'une crête haute de 457 mètres. Les deux radômes sont connus localement sous le nom de "balles de golf" et constituent un repère populaire pour les navires de pêche dans les eaux environnantes. Le parc national de Yokohama Bay se trouve à la base de la crête, avec un sentier de randonnée menant à la pointe et au nord de la crête jusqu'à la plage de Mokulēia. Les routes de la station permettent d'accéder aux sentiers de randonnée et de chasse de l'État, ainsi qu'à un site de camping situé à environ 16 kilomètres à l'intérieur des terres, appelé Peacock Flats, accessible uniquement sur autorisation. Il est possible d'obtenir un permis d'accès via la station pour faire de la randonnée, de la chasse ou du camping sur les terres domaniales environnantes auprès du département des terres et des ressources naturelles d'Hawaï, dans le centre-ville d'Honolulu.

Kahala Mall

Kahala Mall is an indoor shopping mall in the Kāhala neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii on the east side of the island of Oahu. In addition to its service as a major shopping center, Kahala Mall also serves as a key stop on a number of TheBus routes. It is located on Waialae Avenue, near the end of Interstate H-1, where it becomes Kalanianaole Highway. History Opening in November 1954 as Waialae Shopping Center, it was renovated in 1969-1970 by Philip Lyon, Gordon and Company and became known as Kahala Mall. It once included the first F.W. Woolworth Company dime store in Hawaii. Waialae Bowl, the only bowling center within several miles of the neighborhood, at one time operated at the mall, but has since closed. On March 31, 2006, a flood hit the mall. Water affected an estimated 60 of 90 mall businesses, and knocked down two movie auditorium walls. Tenants Kahala Mall is home to a number of notable businesses, including CVS Pharmacy (doing business as Longs Drugs), Whole Foods Market, Claire's, Apple Store, Macy's (formerly Liberty House), Ross Dress for Less, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, GameStop, Chili's and California Pizza Kitchen, and Sephora. The mall also houses a movie theatre, Consolidated Theatres. Clientele Local senior citizen residents frequent the mall during its early morning hours in order to partake in one of the many free exercise programs that are offered. Students of all ages are regularly found in the mall during and after business hours; they are free to socialize or use laptop computers at any one of the compound's numerous gathering areas. A notable client was actor Jack Lord of Hawaii Five-O fame, who would take walks in the mall during his later years. A bronzed bust of Lord sits outside the mall, near the California Pizza Kitchen entrance. References External links Kahala Mall's official website
Kahaluʻu Fish Pond

Kahaluʻu Fishpond, historically known as Kahouna Fishpond, on Kāneʻohe Bay in windward Oʻahu, is one of only four surviving ancient Hawaiian fishponds on Oʻahu that were still in use well into the 20th century. In the previous century there were at least 100 such fishponds around the island. Kahouna was in use until about 1960 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, after members of the surrounding community raised concerns that it would be destroyed by development. The Kahaluu Taro Lo'i Historic District was also added to the National Register at that time. Kahouna features a semicircular seawall about 1,200 feet (370 m) long. The inner and outer faces of the original wall were of stacked stone, with gravel, coral rubble, and soil as fillers between them. Like its larger counterparts at Moliʻi and Heʻeia, Kahouna Fishpond is now private property. Of the four major fishponds on Oʻahu, only Huilua Fishpond is open to the public. Kahaluu Pond, Inc., now leases its property for Hawaiian weddings. There is a wedding chapel at one end and a pavilion and garden area at the other, each leased to different vendors. Columbia Pictures also filmed part of The Karate Kid Part II, at the site.

Kakaʻako Waterfront Park

Kakaʻako Waterfront Park, also known as "Point Panic Park", is a public park in Kakaʻako, south of downtown Honolulu, just off Ala Moana Boulevard at the end of Cooke Street. It was opened in November 1992 on the site of a former municipal landfill and consists of 35 acres (140,000 m2) of grass-covered rolling hills adjacent to the ocean. There is no sandy beach at this location, and access to the ocean is by concrete stairs. The park has bathrooms, water fountains, free parking, picnic tables, an amphitheatre, pay telephones, paved jogging paths, and two popular surfing spots, "Point Panic" and "Flies". In October 2017, the park was closed in order to address homeless people setting up encampments there then reopened in January 2018. Management of Kakaʻako Waterfront Park was done by the Hawaiʻi Community Development Corporation for nearly 20 years. In late 2019, the 40 acres of land that makes up the Kakaʻako Waterfront Park was transferred from the state of Hawaii to the city of Honolulu. The John A. Burns School of Medicine, part of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, is located inland and adjacent to the waterfront park. A Memorial to the Ehime Maru Incident victims is built at the Kakaʻako Waterfront Park. Sculptures in the park Lahui, a silicon bronze sheet sculpture by Sean K. L.

Kalalau Beach

Kalalau Beach is a beach on the Nā Pali Coast at the base of the Kalalau Valley in north-west Kauaʻi in Hawaiʻi. It is the final destination of the Kalalau Trail, one of the most difficult trails on the Hawaiian Islands. The beach is approximately 1 mile long, with trails snaking through the rest of the valley where people in hiding are rumored to live. There is a camp site on the beach, with a waterfall providing fresh water and composting toilets available. Camping requires a permit. The beach has high surf, due to the lack of off shore reefs to break the waves. There are strong rip currents making swimming near impossible. In years past, companies offered a landing service, boating hikers in and out of the beach so that they could hike the trail easily. It is still possible to kayak into and out of the beach. The trail ends at Kalalau Beach, as the ocean comes up the cliffs at the western end. The stretch of the Nā Pali Coast westward from Kalalau Beach to Polihale Beach is inaccessible overland and beaches along that part of the coast can only be reached by sea or by helicopter. Kayaking and swimming (by strong swimmers with fins) from Kalalau Beach are the only ways to reach Honopū Beach. Long term tourists who stay beyond the authorized five days that a camping permit allows are generally considered squatters. These year-round residents may hike out every few months to get food and supplies. Their presence creates an interesting local culture. Many squatters are students on summer vacation, but others have lived in the valley for decades. Park rangers occasionally clear these inhabitants out or chase them into hiding. Water from the waterfall should be purified by boiling or iodine pills, due to the threat of leptospirosis, a bacterial disease spread through contact with infected rat and goat urine. There are herds of feral goats roaming the beach and valley. The goats are a non-native species, and to prevent overpopulation the Department of Land and Natural Resources allows hunting on weekends in August and September. Visitors can find field-dressed pelts hanging around, as hunters pack out only the meat. Mango, guava, passion fruit, and cherry tomatoes are abundant in the valley and are cultivated by the locals. On March 27, 2026, a helicopter crash occurred at the beach, killing three people.

Parco nazionale storico di Kalaupapa

Il parco nazionale storico di Kalaupapa (in inglese Kalaupapa National Historical Park) è un'area protetta degli Stati Uniti d'America, sita nella contea di Kalawao e più precisamente sull'isola di Molokai. Fondato nel 1976, il parco tutela l'ambiente naturale della contea, sulla cui area si estende per la maggior parte. Storia Dapprima zona colonizzata dai nativi hawaiani, la futura contea di Kalawao fu riservata ai malati di lebbra prima dai re delle Hawaii e poi dal governo degli Stati Uniti, bandendo i residenti originari. Data la cessazione dello sfruttamento del territorio da parte dei nuovi abitanti e la bassa densità di popolazione, la zona di Kalaupapa nel corso del XX e XXI secolo è rimasta poco antropizzata, andando incontro a un vasto processo di rimboschimento e rinaturalizzazione. Il parco fu istituito nel 1976 e ufficialmente riconosciuto il 22 dicembre 1980 tramite decreto del presidente Jimmy Carter. Descrizione Il parco di Kalaupapa ricopre buona parte della superficie della contea di Kalawao, che conta poche decine di abitanti. Dato il suo particolare status giuridico, la contea limita gli ingressi turistici sul suo territorio, e quindi anche il parco di Kalaupapa è accessibile a un numero di visitatori giornalieri limitato. Nel parco è presente il cratere di Kauhakō, una formazione vulcanica che nel 2011 ha dato segni di attività sperimentando un'eruzione di tipo limnico. Altre attrattive del parco sono la sua foresta pluviale, ormai scomparsa su buona parte delle Hawaii, e la valle di Waikolu, la zona più remota della contea. Sulla superficie dell'area protetta sono presenti anche alcuni siti archeologici, che hanno portato alla luce manufatti e pitture rupestri risalenti all'antica società hawaiana.

Tern Island (Hawaii)

Tern Island (englisch für „Seeschwalben-Insel“) ist eine Koralleninsel im Nordwesten der French Frigate Shoals und die Hauptinsel dieses Atolls der Nordwestlichen Hawaii-Inseln. Sie gehört zum US-Bundesstaat Hawaii. Geschichte Auf der Insel wurde nach der Schlacht um Midway ein etwa 1000 Meter langes Flugfeld („Flugplatz French Frigate Shoals“) errichtet. Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs befand sich bis 1979 eine bemannte Funknavigations-Station (LORAN) der US-Küstenwache auf Tern Island. Die Station war vorher, bis 1952, auf dem benachbarten East Island aufgebaut. Nach dem Zensus 2000 hatte die Insel eine Fläche von genau 105.276 m², ohne ständige Bewohner. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Tern Island

Tern Island (in italiano «isola delle sterne») è una minuscola isola corallina dell'atollo French Frigate Shoals nelle Hawaii nord-occidentali, a 23°52′12″N 116°17′02.4″W23°52′12″N, 116°17′02.4″W, più o meno 790 km a nord-ovest di Oahu. Ricopre una superficie di 105.276 m² e costituisce un terreno di nidificazione per 18 specie di uccelli marini, oltre che per specie minacciate come la tartaruga verde e la foca monaca delle Hawaii. Viene utilizzata come stazione di ricerca sul campo nel monumento nazionale marino di Papahānaumokuākea dallo United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Storia Dopo la battaglia delle Midway, la U.S. Navy costruì una stazione aeronavale su Tern Island, allargando la superficie dell'isola quel tanto che bastava a contenere una pista di atterraggio di 1005 m. La funzione principale della stazione era quella di fornire un atterraggio di emergenza per gli aerei che volavano tra le Hawaii e l'atollo di Midway. Sono ancora presenti i resti della diga frangiflutti, della pista di decollo e di alcuni degli edifici. La base navale rimase operativa dal 1942 al 1946; successivamente, dal 1952 al 1979, essa venne utilizzata come stazione della Guardia Costiera degli Stati Uniti. Nel 1969, uno tsunami spazzò via gran parte della stazione, che dovette essere ricostruita. Attualmente l'accesso all'isola è rigorosamente riservato a biologi e ricercatori dotati di un permesso speciale.

Tern Island

Tern Island é uma minúscula ilha de coral situada no grupo de ilhas French Frigate Shoals nas Ilhas de Sotavento do Havaí, a 23° 52′ 12″ N, 166° 17′ 02″ O, aproximadamente a 490 milhas (790 km) oés-noroeste de Oahu. Possui uma área de 105.000 metros quadrados. A ilha caracteriza-se por ser ponto de nidificação de 18 espécies de aves marinhas, além das ameaçadas tartarugas-verdes e focas-monge-do-havaí. O lugar é mantido como estação-base para o Monumento Marinho Nacional de Papahanaumokuakea pelo United States Fish and Wildlife Service. História Após a Batalha de Midway, a Marinha dos Estados Unidos construiu uma estação aeronaval em Tern Island, alargando a ilha para que acomodasse uma pista de pouso com 3300 pés (1005 m) de extensão. A principal função do lugar era servir como ponto de apoio para eventuais pousos de emergência para aviões na rota entre o Havaíí e o Atol Midway. A base naval operou entre 1942 e 1946 e uma estação da Guarda Costeira operou de 1952 a 1979. Em 1969 um tsunami arrasou a estação, que teve de ser reconstruída. Um Piper Aztec decolou mais de 600 vezes em Tern Island. Havia voos mensais de Honolulu para correio, com as cargas pesadas vindo pelo mar. Atualmente, as únicas alternativas de comunicação são a o telefone e a internet via satélite, mediante uma conexão de banda larga. Os antigos alojamentos da Guarda Costeira americana continuaram a ser usados durante o século XXI. Os melhoramentos incluem a limpeza dos antigos detritos, tanques de água novos e o uso de energia solar. O sistema de energia solar põe em funcionamento um dessalinizador por osmose reversa, capaz de produzir 1200 galões (4542 litros) diários. Há também um gerador a diesel.

Kamakahonu

Kamakahonu, the residence of Kamehameha I, was located at the north end of Kailua Bay in Kailua-Kona on Hawaiʻi Island. History Kamehameha I (also known as Kamehameha the Great), who unified the Hawaiian Islands, lived out the last years of his life and instituted some of the most constructive measures of his reign (1810–1819) here. The residential compound included the personal shrine, ʻAhuʻena heiau, of the King. The name means "temple of the burning altar" in the Hawaiian language. His son, the crown prince Liholiho, also lived here, taking the name Kamehameha II. In December 1819, Kalanimoku led an army from here to put down the rebellion of his nephew Kekuaokalani, in the Kuamoʻo Battle, a few miles to the South. A battery of 18 cannons and large stone walls protected the fortress-like enclosure around several houses. Island Governor "John Adams" Kuakini lived at Kamakahonu. He governed the island when the king was away on state affairs to another island and later when the capitol was moved to Lahaina on the island of Maui in 1820. He later built a Western-style house called Huliheʻe Palace on the other side of the beach for entertaining visitors. The bay was called Kaiakeakua in ancient times meaning "sea of the god", but is now called Kailua Bay. The name ka maka honu means "the turtle eye" in the Hawaiian Language, after a rock in the shape of a turtle that was located to the left of the present beach. It was here, within a year of the Kamehameha's death, that the first American Christian missionaries to the Hawaiʻi arrived on April 4, 1820. The rock where Asa Thurston and Hiram Bingham I landed was later called the "Plymouth Rock of Hawaii". Today The point to the north was called Kūkaʻilimoku, which means Kū, the thief of the islands, was named for the war god Kū honored by Kamehameha I. It is now the site of the Kailua lighthouse. The property is now part of King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel; none of the houses or walls remain. ʻAhuʻena heiau was reconstructed in the 1970s and can be viewed, but not entered. Some artifacts can be viewed in the hotel lobby, including a feather cloak and helmet (mahiole). The small sandy beach provides a protected beach for launching canoes, and children swimming. The hotel was built on the property in 1960, and was replaced with a new building in 1974. In 2009, the hotel was renovated, and a museum and cultural center were added. The hotel is operated by Courtyard Marriott. The famous rock was covered over by construction of the pier, and much of the beach was destroyed to construct a seawall for Aliʻi drive in the 1950s. Cattle pens on the pier were used until 1966. When the deeper harbor was built at Kawaihae cargo traffic moved there. This area is the start and finish of the Ironman World Championship Triathlon.

En diciembre de 1819, Kalanimoku dirigió un ejército desde aquí para sofocar la rebelión de su sobrino Kekuaokalani, en la batalla de Kuamoʻo, a unas pocas millas al sur. Una batería de 18 cañones y grandes muros de piedra protegían el recinto de fortaleza en torno a varias casas. El gobernador "John Adams" Kuakini vivió en Kamakahonu. Gobernó la isla cuando el rey estaba ausente en los asuntos del Estado en otras islas y más tarde, cuando la capital se trasladó a Lahaina, en la isla de Maui, en 1820.

Kamehameha V Post Office

Kamehameha V Post Office at the corner of Merchant and Bethel Streets in Honolulu, Hawaii was the first building in the Hawaiian Islands to be constructed entirely of precast concrete blocks reinforced with iron bars. It was built by J.G. Osborne in 1871 and the success of this new method was replicated on a much grander scale the next year in the royal palace, Aliʻiōlani Hale. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 5 May 1972 and was designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1987. It was named for King Kamehameha V, who built a number of public buildings during his reign. The building served as a post office until it was converted into a district court office in 1922. In 1976 it was restored by the architects Anderson & Reinhardt as an example of the European Neoclassical architecture and new methods of construction during the Hawaiian Monarchy.
