Molokaʻi or Molokai
is an island in the Hawaiian archipelago.
It is 38 by 10 miles in size at its
extreme length and width with a usable land area of 260 square miles, making it
the fifth largest of the main Hawaiian Islands and the 27th largest island in
the United States.b It lies east of Oʻahu across the
25-mile wide Kaiwi Channel and north of Lanaʻi, separated from it by the Kalohi
Channel. The lights of Honolulu are visible at night from the west end of
Molokaʻi, while nearby Lānaʻi
and Maui are clearly visible from anywhere along the south shore of the island.
The shape of Molokai Island can be recalled as that of a shoe or a fish. Source
