Well, trueexcept for the fact that Hawaii is actually in the North Pacific Even as the late as the 1950s, few visitors to the islands ventured far beyond the comfortable surroundings of Honolulu and legendary Waikiki Beach on the island of Oahu From museums to nightlife, Honolulu is the cultural crossroads of the Pacific Rim But there is another Hawaii on five neighboring islands, each with its own character and its own, unique aloha spirit Maui, with its miles of exemplary beachfront resorts is the most popular of the outer islands And if you can drag yourself away from the sand (or the sand traps at several superb golf courses), there are few views in the world that can top those from the summit of Haleakala volcano and few drives that can match the spectacular, winding coastal road to Hana Kauai is often called the Garden Isle, but it's the islands beaches and the incredible cliff-lined Napali Coast that visitors usually talk about. And while Kauai, like her sister islands, is best seen from the water (catamaran, surfboard, outrigger canoe for starters), the hiking here is unforgettable. The Big Island (as the locals call it) is Hawaii at its most dramatic, from red-hot lava flowing to the sea at the worlds most active volcano to stunning waterfalls. For those looking for a little less drama, relaxing is no effort at luxury resorts scattered along the Kona-Kohala coast. Once a pineapple plantation in the sea, Lanai is now home to a pair of upscale resorts one in the mountains, one at the sea each with a top-rated championship golf course. Development has mostly bypassed Molokai, and thats much of the islands charm. Riding a mule down the steep switchback trail to Kalapapa is a long-standing tradition, and longtime visitors know this is still an island where some of the best beaches have no footprints for days at a time Oahu Maui Kauai Big Island Lanai Molokai Home • Island Destination Search • Travel Deals • Islands Magazine Weddings & Honeymoons • Desktop Images • Contact Us • Employment Opportunities Please visit our other World Publications websites: Caribbean Travel Planner | Cruising World Discover St. Thomas & St. John | Resorts & Great Hotels | Saveur | Spa | Sportdiver © 2005 World Publications

Hawaii Volcano

Introduction to Kilauea Volcano, Hawai`i Eruption Update Eruption Summary Hazards History Panorama Images Kilauea -- Perhaps the World's Most Active Volcano View north-northeast across Kilauea's summit caldera and Halema`uma`u crater (left of center) Kilauea is the youngest and southeastern most volcano on the Big Island of Hawai`i. Topographically Kilauea appears as only a bulge on the southeastern flank of Mauna Loa, and so for many years Kilauea was thought to be a mere satellite of its giant neighbor, not a separate volcano. However, research over the past few decades shows clearly that Kilauea has its own magma-plumbing system, extending to the surface from more than 60 km deep in the earth. In fact, the summit of Kilauea lies on a curving line of volcanoes that includes Mauna Kea and Kohala and excludes Mauna Loa. In other words, Kilauea is to Mauna Kea as Lo`ihi is to Mauna Loa. Hawaiians used the word Kilauea only for the summit caldera, but earth scientists and, over time, popular usage have extended the name to include the entire volcano. 11 October 2002 The eruption of Kilauea Volcano that began in 1983 continues at the cinder-and-spatter cone of Pu`u `O`o (high point on skyline). Lava erupting from the cone flows through a tube system down Pulama pali about 11 km to the sea (lower left). Map of Kilauea, including location of Pu`u `O`o Sketch showing magma reservoir & active lava-tube system Kilauea is the home of Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess. Hawaiian chants and oral traditions tell in veiled form of many eruptions fomented by an angry Pele before the first European, the missionary Rev. William Ellis, saw the summit in 1823. The caldera was the site of nearly continuous activity during the 19th century and the early part of this century. Since 1952 there have been 34 eruptions, and since January 1983 eruptive activity has been continuous along the east rift zone. All told, Kilauea ranks among the world's most active volcanoes and may even top the list. | Eruption Update | Eruption Summary | Hazards | History | Kilauea Facts Map of the Island of Hawai`i Location 19.425 N 155.292 W Elev.

Most Recent Eruption Continuous since January 3, 1983 Number of Historical Eruptions 61, not counting the continuous lava-lake activity in Halema`uma`u crater Summit Caldera The caldera itself has no Hawaiian name other than Kilauea but houses the famous crater, Halema`uma`u; "hale" is a house, "ma`uma`u" a type of fern. Kamapua`a, a jilted suitor of Pele, is said to have built a house of ferns over Halema`uma`u to keep Pele from escaping her home and causing eruptions. The ploy failed.
