Maui The Island of

Maui and Kahoolawe, Hawaii Maui and Kahoolawe, Hawaii Elevation: 1,476 feet (450 m) - Kahoolawe 10,023 feet (3,055 m) - Maui The Island of Maui is made of two volcanoes: West Maui and East Maui.Most of the West Maui shield (20.9N, 156.6W) formed between 2-1.3 millionyears ago. A central caldera has been identified roughly in the area ofthe present-day Iao Valley. Alkalic basalts capped the volcano about 1.2million years ago. Four small eruptions occurred during the rejuvenatedstage on West Maui, probably about 1 million years ago. The volcano isdeeply dissected by numerous valleys. West Maui has not erupted inhistoric time and is considered to be extinct . East Maui Volcano, often also (but incorrectly) called Haleakala, is the easternmost of the twoshield volcanoes that make the Island of Maui. East Maui Volcano (20.7N, 156.2W)is the third largest Hawaiian shield volcano. Three rift zones can beclearly seen in the above Space Shuttle photograph(compare with map below). Most of thevolcanic activity has been concentrated along the southwest and east riftzones. The impressive Haleakala Crater is at the summit of the volcano.Haleakala Crater is an erosional caldera, formed by the coalescence ofthe heads of two large valleys as they eroded into the volcano. The mainshield of Haleakala is more than 800,000 years old. Lava flows andpyroclastics of the capping stage range in age from 930,000 to 350,000years old. Rejuvenated-stage volcanic rocks occur along the rift zonesand in the crater. The most recent eruption of Haleakala was in about1790 at La Perouse Bay. Haleakala is considered an active volcanobecause this eruption is in historic time for Hawaii. Kahoolawe (20.5N, 156.6W) is one of the smallest shield volcanoes in theHawaiian Islands. Kahoolawe is the island near the bottom of the slide.The lava flows that make the main shield are 1-2 million years old. Waveerosion has exposed a caldera on the eastside of the island . Kahoolawehas not erupted in historic time and is considered to be extinct. Source of information: Volcanoes of North America by Wood and Kienle. Images of Volcanoes To VolcanoWorld

Hawaiian Wedding Hawaiian music

How to Find Music for a Hawaiian Wedding - eHow.com Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home Family & Relationships Center Wedding Bells How to Find Music for a Hawaiian Wedding Hawaiian music has a slow, melodic sound all its own. Capture the feel of the islands by using this traditional music to set the tone of your special day. Steps: 1. Explore your options to learn what Hawaiian musicians are available. Check the yellow pages, do a search online, and ask island hotels and banquet halls for recommendations. 2. Consult with a wedding planner, who can make the arrangements for you if time is short. 3. Ask to listen to the musician play before you make any decisions. 4. Request the Hawaiian wedding song, called "Ke Kali Nei Au." This means, "I'm waiting for thee." 5. Ask to have it played on a guitar or a guitar-ukulele duet. 6. Arrange for a hula dancer to perform to the song. 7. Listen to a demo of Hawaiian music to hear how it sounds. 8. Select other Hawaiian songs you would like to include on your wedding day. Some of the options include the "Maile Swing," "Sophisticated Hula" and "Pretty Red Hibiscus." 9. Expect to pay about $150 an hour for a vocalist/guitarist, and $100 an hour for a hula dancer. But remember that prices can vary quite a bit, depending on the performer's level of experience. Tips: Ask a conch shell, or pu, blower to announce the beginning of your ceremony. This signifies that an important event is about to occur.
