Blazing tiki torches come to life as the sun sets over the North Pacific Ocean in the tropical Hawaiian Islands, USA. Fired by propane or natural gas, the flames rise from metal or bamboo cones mounted on poles in the ground. Based on Polynesian culture, tiki torches have become icons of resorts and restaurants throughout Hawaii. Their initial popularity is traced to the 1930s-40s when the torches were featured as part of the Polynesian décor at Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's restaurants.
