| Hawaii |
| Hawaii is a tropical island in the Pacific and is known for having some of the most active volcanoes in the world, great scuba diving and surfing, and it's mountainous rainforests. It also has a lot of history because it's home to Pearl Harbor where the Japanese attacked USA during world war 2 the only time America was ever attacked on US soil by a foreign military. I only ended up in Hawaii because I could not find a flight out of Honolulu to Australia so ended up with a few days here. I visited Pearl Harbor, went scuba diving and visited the big island. I'd like to hike Hawaii's highest mountain Mauna Kea, do some more diving and explore other islands when I return. |
| Here are some pictures of Hawaii's natural beauty. You can see this waterfall that is on the big island. The picture below you can see clouds rolling into the Hawaiian rainforest. |
| Above are some pictures of lava that overflowed into populated areas in the early 1980s. You can see a parking sign that was left behind in the lava. On the left is where the lava meets the ocean. Below you can see smoke rising in the distance because lava is still flowing to the ocean. Getting very close can be dangerous because if the winds turn you could have some hot deadly gas blown in your face. |
I stayed in Pearl Harbor while I was in Hawaii. On the left is the aircraft carrier the USS Lincoln making a port call.
To the right are the remains of the USS Arizona. It was sunken by Japanese warplanes and killed over 1000 people.
