Abstract
From 1866 Kalaupapa Peninsula, at the base of the 1600-foot high sea cliffs on the north coast of Molokai, was the site of total isolation for victims of Hansen's Disease (leprosy). It has been a national park since 1980. This image shows the foreboding cliffs at the back of the settlement and hospital of Kalaupapa where a small community of residents still lives, and part of Awahua bay where victims of Hansen's disease were dropped off in exile.
