Welcome to the Island of Hawaii
($25.00 - $3750.00)
The Big Island of Hawaii is the island chain's largest and newest island. The Big Island in fact is so large you could fit the land area of all the other islands combined into the land area of the Big Island and still have room to spare. As if it's not big enough already it continues to expand with each passing day as it is fueled from deep within the earth below with the power of a volcanic thrust that brings its magma from below the earth's surface and provides spectacular daily displays of it fiery growth on the surface. The Big Island is mostly formed by its two enormous volcanoes known as Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa which both exceed 13,000' in height making them, if measured from the base of the sea floor, the largest mountains in the world. The busiest volcano on the island in modern times is however a much smaller vent volcano off the side of Mauna Loa which is called Kilauea. This volcano has been going-off non-stop since the 1970's and its slow moving lava can be seen inching its fiery pathway to the coast and into the ocean to the visual delight of thousands of grateful visitors anxious to see earth's creation in action.
