Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge 
Navy helicopter perched atop Gardner Pinnacle* 
This is one of the most precipitous islands of the 
group and harbors most of the seabirds found on the at':-ex 
islands. Navy personnel recently blasted a landing spot 
atop this rock but nonethless the helicopter must perch 
there with only two of its four wheels on the ground.
