Molokai Kalaupapa peninsula

The northern shore peninsula of Kalaupapa is the location of St Damien's colony. The area was formed by volcanic action at a time after the main island was in existence. It is isolated from the main island by the cliffs that appear here and access is practical only by sea or air. There is a mule trail that winds down the cliffside. Commuter air pilots refer to the main island as Up Top.
