High above Honolulu, lush lawns growing in the caldera of an extinct volcano are the emotive setting for the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (daily: March-Sept 8am-6.30pm; Oct-Feb 8am-5.30pm), in which are buried the dead of all US Pacific wars, including Vietnam. The Hawaiian shuttle astronaut Ellison Onizuka is also here. This spot is said to have held an ancient sacrificial temple, and is on TheBus route #15 from town.
