What is the highest mountain in the world? The majority of school children would answer, Mount Everest is located on the border of Nepal and Tibet.
However, there is a mountain 304 meters higher than Mount Everest. The mountain is located in the ocean, precisely in the Pacific Ocean, and rising more than 17 kilometers from the ocean floor. The name of the mountain, Mauna Loa, which means "Mountain High" in Hawaii.
Mount Mauna Loa is more extensive than half of the island of Hawaii, making it the largest volcano in the Hawaiian Islands. The volcano is the largest and most active in the world. Mauna Loa produced liquid rock called lava or lava more than 30 times since it was first recorded in 1843. Mauna Loa is now calm, do not produce lava. However, a volcano expert said the only matter of time before the lava was flowing again.
Other National Park also has a large volcano located on the island of Maui. His name, Haleakala National Park. In the language of Hawaii, Haleakala means "House of the Sun." The volcano and the mountains are smaller and older, forming the island of Maui. The volcano is considered dormant. Around 1790, two areas next to a massive volcanic lava was dropped and the heat out of there. The lava flows along the slopes of the mountain and into the sea. That was the last time Mount Haleakala on. The volcano, located in Haleakala National Park was sticking out more than 3 km above sea level.
The journey starts from near the sea. We can drive a car through the city of Kahului. Travelers passing through the shops and houses, and buildings as well as cities in America. Here there are lots of different flowers than in any other city in America. Hawaiian Islands is famous for its flowers. Soon after, we entered the area with a few plants, and rocks a black padas. In one place, as if the visitor entered the clouds that float near the mountain.
National Park Headquarters is located two kilometers from the summit of the mountain. The park ranger at the information center explains to visitors about the history of the volcano. They say that the mountain was quite safe now. They also clarified that the mountain is likely to be active again.
Thousands of visitors each year enjoy Haleakala National Park on the island of Maui, and Mauna Loa and Kilauea on Hawaii island. Ships anchored in the two island and tourist buses carrying groups of tourists to see the volcanoes of it.
Many tourists also crossed the volcano with a plane or helicopter. That's a popular and safe way, to observe the Kilauea volcano lava moving slowly toward the ocean. Another visitor saw from the ship. Tourists can also walk into the tropical forest that is created from the volcano thousands of years ago. Here they can see Waimoku waterfall, where water falls as high as 120 feet into the mountainside.
Both parks were offered to the tourists, a landscape that has never been witnessed and enjoyed by most people. Visitors can see how this active volcano, adding to the breadth of the island. They can see the inside of a volcano that has been quiet for hundreds of years. American Landscape Agency was responsible for both the garden, either volcano Haleakala National Park and Hawaii. Landscaper body is trying hard to maintain the authenticity of nature in the two regions.
