DESTINATION HAWAII


by Suzanne Conway H


awaii is one of the best places in the world to view an active volcano. Unpredictable. Explosive. Powerful. Hawaii’s volcanoes are classified as “shield” volcanoes because they’re built almost entirely of fluid lava flows.


Hawaii is home to three active vol- canoes: Mauna Loa, which last erupt- ed in 1984; Kilauea, which has been


continuously erupting since 1983; and Loihi, which is underwater off the southern coast of Hawaii island


and has been erupting since 1996. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is


considered the place to explore these natural wonders. Located just 45 minutes south of Hilo on the island of Hawaii, this park offers a rare op- portunity to witness two active volca- noes, as both Kilauea and Mauna Loa
