Geography Molokaʻi is built from two distinct volcanoes known as East Molokaʻi and the much smaller West Molokaʻi. The highest point is Kamakou on East Molokaʻi, at 4,970 feet (1,515 m). East Molokaʻi volcano, like Koʻolau on Oʻahu is today only what remains standing of the southern half of the original mountain. The northern half suffered a catastrophic collapse and now lies as a debris field scattered northward across the Pacific Ocean bottom while what remains on the island are the highest sea cliffs in the world. Views of these sea cliffs are presented in the movie Jurassic Park III. The south shore of Molokaʻi boasts the longest fringing reef of the US and its holdings—nearly 40 km long. Jurassic Park III is a 2001 film and sequel of The Lost World: Jurassic Park and the highly successful original Jurassic Park. ...
