Volcano, Volcano, Volcano!

Mauna Loa, and Kilauea.

June = Iune

Name the three active volcanoes on the Big Island.

The Big Island is built from five volcanoes, three of which are active, one (Kohala) is extinct, and one (Mauna Kea) is dormant.

Because of this ongoing volcanic activity, the Big Island is still growing. Between 1983 and 2002, more than 500 acres were added to the island.

Lava flows destroyed the town of Kapoho in 1960 and Kalapana and Kaimu in 1990. In 1987, lava filled in Queen's Bath, a large freshwater pool near Kalapana.

A Grand Canyon, Indeed

Waimea Canyon

May = Mei

What is the name of this multicolored canyon?

Known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, this canyon is located on the western side of Kauai. It is approximately 10 miles long and 3,000 feet deep.

Its name means "reddish water," a reference to the erosion of the canyon's red soil.

The canyon was created not only by erosion but by a catastrophic collapse of the volcano that created Kauai, the oldest of the large Hawaiian islands.

A state park covers 1,866 acres of the canyon and is a popular tourist destination.
