Additional Information About Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park
National Park of Hawaii Volcanoes was established in 1916. There are 335,259 acres of land there, which is equivalent to around 523 square miles. Oahu, as a point of reference, is 597 square miles in size.
The park features six of Earth’s climate zones, as well as two of the world’s most active volcanoes (Klauea and Maunaloa, respectively) that climb from sea level to more than 13,000 feet.
The scenery and habitats of Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park are diverse. It’s great for daytrippers, but those who stick around to learn more about the island’s cultural sites, ash deserts, and alpine tundra, as well as its rough lava fields and rainforest plants and animals, lava tubes and craters, coastlines where lava rock meets the ocean, and cultural traditions will find themselves rewarded.
