Aloha. The Hawai'ian islands are volcanic in origin. Each island is made up of at least one primary volcano. Hawai`i, the Big Island, for example, is made up of 5 major volcanoes: Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, Hualalai and Kohala. Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano in the world. Haleakala, on Maui, where I am, is a dormant volcano, and one of the best places in the world for watching sunrises.
