Kauhakō Crater

An aerial view of a crater below cliffs.

The peninsula's highest point is the Kauhakō Crater, which rises to about 500 feet above sea level. The volcano is now extinct, but the crater remains and is still connected to the ocean by a lava tube. The lake in the middle of the crater has become one of the world's deepest lakes, with a depth of more than 800 feet.
