DTM-generated profile of the northern horizon as seen from heiau MAH-231. The horizontal bar indicates the main axial orientation of the heiau. Note that the nearby ridge mentioned in the text, and which obscures the distant horizon further to the east, is too close to be accurately reproduced in the DTM.
