United States: Big Island, Hawaii. Dark lava flows decorate
the flanks of the great shield-shaped volcano Mauna Loa; Mauna Kea

under the band of clouds along the northeast side of the island.

STS104-704-70
|
United States: Hawaiian Islands. Molokai, Lanai, Maui,
Kahoolawe, and Hawaii (from foreground to background) fill the field
of view. Inactive volcano Haleakala makes up most of the larger lobe
of Maui. As this piece of the Pacific oceanic plate has moved
NNW-ward across a mantle hotspot, volcanoes have grown above the sea
surface to form the islands. Hawaii is at the volcanically active SE
end of the chain; a submarine volcano -- not yet an island -- lies
just south of Hawaii.
