Mount Pānīʻau

About

Mount Pānīau is a shield volcano located on the Hawaiian island of Niihau. It has an elevation of 1,289 feet (393 meters), thus making it Niihau's highest point. In addition to forming the island of Niihau, one of its tuff cones created the small island of Lehua, located 0.7 miles (1.1 km) north of Niihau, due west of Kauai.
