Hawaii Volcanoes

Introducing the volcanoes of Kilauea and Mauna Loa… More than 4,000 feet high (and still growing) Kilauea adjoins the much larger and older Mauna Loa which actually means “long mountain.” Mauna Loa is massive, towering 13,679 feet above sea level. In fact, if you measured the volcano at its base, which is located 18,000 feet below sea level, you would realize it is larger than Mount Everest.
