Ready-made ‘ōhi‘a lei overlooking Halema‘uma‘u

Halema‘uma‘u Crater, (3646 feet elevation) also known as the fire pit, located within the larger Kīlauea Crater gives the impression that it is being adorned with a ready-made haku lei. The ‘ōhi‘a tree is in the foreground overlooking Halema‘uma‘u Crater creating this impression. Halema‘uma‘u literally means fern house or "the house of the ‘ama‘u‘ama‘u fern".
