HAREMAUMAU crater 　　 Kilauea 　 　　 Mauna Kea
The Hawaii island in Hawaii Islands famous as a tourist resort. The active volcano and Kilauea which still continues an eruption are here, and one is specified as Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It is related with Kilauea to there being an outflow of lava frequently from a mountain in the Hawaii language, It blows off. or It sprinkles mostly.

　Hawaii Islands is Volcano Islands. 　Kilauea Volcano 　The No.1 high mountain of the world
The magma passing through a hot spot (way = as magma) makes a volcano, and a plate (= the surface of the earth) moves also in the meantime. Hawaii Islands repeated this phenomenon repeatedly and the number of islands has been increased. In Kilauea Volcano, 45 eruptions are recorded by the end of the 20th century. Still now, although eruption activities are continued, there is tour which inspects the lava which flows there. If Mauna Kea also unites about 5000m part under a sea surface, it will become the height over 9000m. The power of the magma made even the No.1 height of the world by active volcanic activity is uncanny.
