Secrets of Diamond Head

"Many people know about Hawai'i's volcanic crater, Diamond Head, but very few are aware of the crater's colorful past. After Diamond Head burst from the shore of O'ahu in a series of steam explosions, the crater sat silent for hundreds of thousands of years, before becoming a backdrop to some of the most famous moments in Hawai'i's history.

Secrets of Diamond Head traces the life of the crater from its birth to its use by hikers and the military today"--
