Diamond Head Crater, Hawaii

A back-to-back footage showing the Diamond Head Crater in real life and its virtual reproduction in Second Life. Diamond Head refers to a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu and known to Hawaiians as Lēʻahi. Its English name was given by British sailors in the 19th century, who mistook calcite crystals embedded in the rock for diamonds. The re-creation of the dormant volcano in Second Life was sculpted by Avatrian under contractual agreement with Niamh Burnstein. It is one of distinguishing features of the University of Hawaii at Manoa simulator in SL. The crater was built to serve as a backdrop for an amphitheatre and is sized not to scale on purpose.

@Takeshi357 Yes definitely. Our client only wanted it for 1/5th of the sim because they are using the other parcels for structures. But, your suggestion is completely doable.

I wonder if you could turn that into a megaprim and surround an entire sim with it.
