The
Big Island is the youngest in Hawaii, a mere baby at one
million years old and still growing with constant eruption
and lava flows. It is one of the only place on Earth where
you can still see an active volcano. Larger than all the
other islands combined, "The Big Island" is a
miniature continent with stunning beaches, dramtic diffs,
volcanic parks, exotic rivers, vast plains and even cactus
studded deserts. The island is dominated by the twin peaks
of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, both over 13000 feet high and
divided by ski slopes. Actually, Mauna Mea is only the top
of a submerged mountain. Yet at 32000 feet from sea floor
to sky, it could be called the tallest mountain in the world,
dwarfing Mount Everest by several thousand feet.
