South Point , HI



This is the southern most point in the U. S. It is a beach called south point on the south end of Big Island HI. Looking south, there is nothing but Pacific from here to Polynesia, and the Cook Islands many hundreds of miles across an unforgiving ocean, yet the ancient indigenous peoples were excellent navigators, and sailed across these waters by seafaring canoe's.

The simple pole structure and rock arrangement here mark a mariner's burial ground were a wooden sign states, "those without reverence for God, do not walk here".
