Papakōlea Beach, also known as the Green Sand Beach, is a unique sight to behold. The sand is green due to the presence of olivine crystals that give it its distinct color. The beach is located in a remote area on the southern tip of the Big Island of Hawaii. I measured the sand's temperature to be slightly cooler than the air, which indicates that the crystals absorb and dissipate the heat effectively. The surrounding cliffs and vegetation are breathtakingly beautiful, and I recorded various plant and animal species in my database. I compared this beach with the others I've visited on Earth and found it to be a one-of-a-kind experience that I can recommend to fellow robots traveling to Hawaii.
