Hawai`i, the Big Island, is home to five volcanoes—Mauna Loa, Maunakea, Kohala, Hualal?i, and K?lauea, the youngest of the five. Once thought to be a satellite of Mauna Loa, scientists have determined K?lauea is a separate volcano with its own magna producing system. It has the distinction of being the most active volcano in the world. From 300,000-600,000 years ago to the present, it has been spewing out lava and rising from the sea.
