Over one year
in the making! A very thorough and complete visual tour
of the Big Island of Hawaii on one GREAT cd!
Contains over
2,000 images and almost 3 hours of Hawaiian music. This
CD is a great tool for the first time Hawaii traveler,
it is keyed to the highway map. You can see what the area
is like, rather than wonder what is around that line on
the roadmap. Read excerpts, know the history, get local
hints, and find the right places for you.
The montage
below is the smallest of samples of this wonderful tour!
It's really
a micro cosmos of the entire earth, or almost. You can
find 20 of the 21 micro climates on just the Big Island.
Like all islands, the Big Island has a rainy (windward)
side with lush jungles and a dry (leeward) side with desert
and cacti. Between the beaches, there lies the rest of
the earth.
Mauna Kea and
Mauna Loa, the massive twin mountains are primarily responsible
for creating the island. Mauna Kea is the highest mountain
on earth (if counted from the ocean floor). Mauna Loa
has the largest mountain mass on earth. There's snow and
sometimes even fierce snow storms on their peaks in the
winter
Only on the
Big Island!
Of course,
there's the big star of the Big Island, Kilauea the active
volcano. During its over 20 year history, it's been ferocious
and gentle, destructive and constructive. When I'm writing
this, it's gentle again. You can almost drive your car
to the hot molten lava. That's why it's nicknamed "the
drive-in volcano".
Only on the
Big Island!
