Yes, it is. Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii is the world's largest shield volcano. It is also the largest mountain on earth, in terms of base area.

Measured from its base, Mauna Kea, also on the Big Island, is the tallest mountain in the world, rising 33,500 feet from the ocean floor.

There are mountains on the other islands as well.
