Spouting Horn, Kauai, Hawaii

Pacific Ocean waves shoot 50 feet into the air through a tiny hole in a lava shelf off on the Kauai coast known as the Spouting Horn blowhole. It sounds like a whale breathing, but Hawaiian legend says the sound is actually the "lizard woman" moaning. She would attack anyone who got too close. One day she chased a fisherman into a lava tube. He escaped; she's still stuck.
