The Hawaiian Islands (there is more than one of them) were formed from the eruption of volcanos on the floor of the ocean. We see the part that sticks up above the water. The next island is being formed underwater to the southeast of the Big Island, is still 3000 feet underwater, and is named the Lo'ihi Seamount.
