ISLANDS in the world are famous for different things. But Hawaii is special for its variety of features. Beautiful sandy beaches, active volcanoes, a great canyon(溪谷) and special history and culture add up to create its famously romantic atmosphere.
Formed by volcanoes at the bottom of the sea, the Hawaii islands are like a necklace in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 6 000 kilometres off the west coast of Mexico. There are eight main islands in the group Hawaii (or Big Island), Mai, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau.
The youngest and biggest island, also called Hawaii was formed 430 000 years ago and is still growing. Kauai, the oldest was formed 5.1 million years ago. For tourists, the sight of the lava that still flows from some of the volcanoes down to the sea, is a major attraction.
