United_States - The islands are volcanic in origin, located on a so-called hotspot where magma rises from the Earth’s interior as lava. As the crust moves over the hotspot, a chain of islands formed from west to east, with the oldest, extinct volcanoes in the west and the youngest, active ones in the east. Currently, the volcanoes Kilauea and Mauna Loa on the largest island, Hawaii, remain highly active; Hualalai may also be active. Mauna Kea is dormant. Kilauea, in Volcanoes National Park, erupts almost continuously and is a popular tourist attraction. Mauna Loa erupts roughly every 20 years, and Mauna Kea every 4,000 years, though not guaranteed. Haleakala (House of the Sun), a volcano on Maui, is especially popular with tourists. It is easy to drive the 55 km road to the summit. At the top, there is a parking area, and many visitors go to watch the sunrise or sunset. The volcano is part of Haleakala National Park.
