Kahoolawe is the smallest of the eight main islands of the Hawaiian archipelago. It covers 44.6 sq mi (115.5 sq km). Kahoolawe measures 11 miles (18 km) long and 6 miles (9.7 km) across.

Kahoolawe is arid, as it is in the rain shadow of Maui's Haleakala volcano. The island is today uninhabited due mainly to the lack of readily available freshwater. It was used by the US military for live-fire training, which was eventually ended in 1990.
