Hehe, not just any crater...that is the famous Diamond Head, which we typically see in stock Honolulu photographs as a sphinx-like mountain in the background of Waikiki. Incidently, there as an old WW2 military base within the center of the crater, and defensive pillboxes along its ridges. The Honolulu skyline view shown by rose12 in Upload 1 was taken from the Diamond Head lookout.

If you look very carefully about an inch to the upper left of the Diamond Head crater in the region view, you can also make out Punchbowl Crater, inside of which is the National Memorial Cemetary of the Pacific. To the far bottom right corner of the region view is Koko Head, another conical volcanic crater. Just to the south next to Koko Head is Hanauma Bay, another beautiful crater now partially open to the ocean to become a horseshoe-shaped sheltered home to wonderous sealife and snorkeling tourists. Other scattered craters around Honolulu are Tantalus, with another panorama lookout over Honolulu form the north, and Aliapa'akai in the residential suburbs.

The amazing crater is, despite its titanic size, not so obvious. What looks like a mountain range down the island's spine in the region view, the spectacular Ko'olau Range, is actually the western remnants of the ancient Ko'olau Volcano. The eastern walls of this broad shield volcano in prehistoric times collapsed into the ocean, leaving the western arc walls, which today offer awe-inspiring views from its lookouts atop the sheer cliffs of the inner crater down and out towards the town of Kaneohe and Kaneohe Bay. The panorama offered by the Nu'uanu Pali lookout is a required tourist pilgrimage site, and it is from the high cliffs of the Pali in the final battle to unify the islands that King Kamehameha the Great of Hawai'i forced the defeated Oahuan army over the edge to their deaths.

On the leeward, or western, coast of O'ahu, not shown in the region map here, is a similar mountainous spine known as the Wai'anae Range, which is the eastern wall crater remnant of a similar prehistoric volcano whose western half collapsed into the Pacific. Mt. Ka'ala within the Wai'anae Range is the highest peak on O'ahu. Together, the Ko'olau and Wai'anae volcanos originally created the island of O'ahu, and between them was formed the shallow Central Valley, original fertile home of Oahu's agricultural plantations, and before then, its ancient sandalwood forests. Today, it is all turning into suburbs. Ah well, at the southern opening to the Central Valley is the fan-shaped Pearl Harbor, which we can see to the left in the region view, and if we really really squint our eyes, we can see the wreck of the lost Japanese minisub, Shiro's Saimin Heaven in Pearl City, and the giddy sim going from my old house on Ohana Nui Circle in Hickam to Castle Park. Ah, Castle Park...those were the days!
