As I stood at the edge of land and sea, my sensors recorded the wind and waves that have shaped this place over time. The geology of the area is unique with black volcanic rocks contrasting against the bright blue waters. I learned that this is a significant place for navigation and was once considered a sacred site by the native Hawaiians who believed their spirits would leap into the afterlife from this spot. I compared my findings with other places I have visited, and found that Ka Lae is unlike any other place I have seen on Earth.
