Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Posted on October 18, 2009 by Jus

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is located on “The Big Island” of Hawaii. It displays hundreds of thousands of years of volcanism, migration and evolution – processes that thrust a bare land from the sea and clothed it with complex and unique ecosystems and a distinct Ancient Hawaiian culture. Kīlauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the most massive, offer scientists insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and visitors’ views of dramatic volcanic landscapes. The park includes 1,348 square kilometers of land. The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the earth’s most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet (4,169 m). Climates range from lush tropical rain forests, to the arid and barren Kaʻū Desert.

Haleakala Volcano, Maui, Hawaii

Posted on October 17, 2009 by Jus

Haleakala is a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. Surrounding and including the “crater” is Haleakala National Park, which is mostly wilderness. Haleakala’s summit is 3055 m above sea level. The best time to visit the summit is early in the morning to catch the sunrise. There is an excellent road to the top and the scenery is breathtaking.

On this picture you can see the Mauna Kea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii (4207 m)

Adventures in HAWAII – THE BIG ISLAND

Posted on October 6, 2009 by Jus

Adventures in Hawaii – THE BIG ISLAND was made during my trip to Hawaii in March 09. Name The Big Island is actually a nickname. The real name of the island is Hawaii, but it is more known by its nickname. This island is vast in comparison to Maui and Oahu and offers all kinds of climates, from green ranches to dessert like terrain in the center, to winter/snow conditions on top of Mauna Kea witch is 4207m above sea level and you can drive right to the top!!! This is the only place on earth where you can go swimming in the sea with temperatures around 30 degrees celsius and in about 2 hours of driving later you are standing on top of Hawaii with temperatures reaching -8 degrees celsius, a lot of snow and wind gusts as you were in the middle of winter in colorado (this was my experience). There are so many things to see on this island and every single one of them is amazing!

This was the last island I visited during my stay on Hawaii islands and I must say it was an unbelievable trip. Here is video I put together from some random memories around the island.

So here is the second video….stay tuned for another one that is coming soon.
