HOLEI SEA ARCH
Go there and contact
Arch of almost 30 m high in the open sea which is not made of stone but of lava hardened following its contact with the sea
An arch of almost 30 m high in the open sea. Unlike most of the sea arches in Hawaii, it is not made of stone but of lava hardened by contact with the sea. According to the legend, it is there that Pele (goddess of volcanoes) would have violently argued with her sister Namakaokahai (goddess of the oceans). Its name, Holei, comes from a small plant endemic to Hawaii (Orchrosia) that can be found on the slopes of the volcano. Other lesser-known arches can be seen along the coast, but they gradually collapse with the waves.

La route s'arrête juste après l'arche (barrière) mais elle n'est plus coupée par la lave. En effet, une piste de secours pour la région de Pahoa a été aménagée afin que les habitants ne soient pas isolées si la coulée de lave du cratère Pu'u 'O'o venait à couper la seule route menant à Pahoa.
Peu après la barrière nous avons vu des nénés ! (oies sauvages)
