... Hawaiian beaty nr 2💙... the Nakale Blowhole is an impressive, natural wonder in the lava fields of Maui... the approximately 30 m tall fountain beats from a shallow pool close to the sea... it shoots water high into the air regularly due to its windward (and windy) location and near-constant ocean swell activity... it is one of the most amazing sights on the island... but it is important to remember that people have died at the Maui blowhole... the area surrounding the spout is far more dangerous than it may appear, even on calm days... Heel Erg Bedankt Loes en Ben!ヽ(•‿•)ノ

The Nakalele Blowhole is located on the backside of West Maui near the northern most tip of Maui.
A blowhole is hole in the ground that connects to an underground, partially submerged ocean cave. The cave and opening are shaped in such a way that when the ocean rises or waves crash into it, a jet of water and air is violently forced out through the hole. The higher the tide and swells, the more spectacular the eruptions.
