Can you name Hawaii's islands?
There are eight major islands in the Hawaiian chain: Hawai'i, Moloka'i, Maui, Ni'ihau, O'ahu, Kaho'olawe, Kaua'i, and Lana'i. Kaho'olawe is uninhabited and was once used by the Hawai'an royalty as a penal colony and, more recently, by the military for target practice. Ni'ihau is privately owned and one must be of pure Hawai'ian blood to be allowed to live there. It was only very recently that they have allowed outsiders to visit the island, for a few hours. There are no hotels, thus, no tourists. Moloka'i was once a leper colony. Hawai'i, the Big Island, is home to the tallest mountain in the world, Mauna Kea, and the world's most active volcano, Kilauea. The southernmost tip of the United States is located on the Big Island as well near the town of Ka'u. Finally, what is believed to be the roughest and most dangerous channel in the world lies between the Big Island and Maui, the Alenuihaha channel.
