Publisher's Summary
The Big Island National Park has been declared an International Biosphere Reserve and is a World Heritage Site. The constant volcanic activities offer the opportunity to feel and discover the primal power of the earth. Many trails are available to visitors and friendly rangers are happy to provide information.
The different vegetation zones offer nature the opportunity to create their own ecosystems. While the rainforest is lush in the northeast, a savannah-like landscape emerged in the south. The gray, inhospitable zone of the South Rift Zone is in stark contrast.
The park is home to the most active volcano on earth, the Kilauea and also the largest volcano, the Mauna Loa. "The House of Fire", the mighty Halema uma u was once the most sacred place in the archipelago for the Hawaiian people.
You see bizarre rock formations that have formed from cooled lava flows alternating with giant ferns and eucalyptus trees. From the volcanic heights you can enjoy a panoramic view of the coast. The wide areas of ash give an impression of the extent of the huge eruptions of the recent past.
As destructive as the glowing lava flows are, they are also the origin of this uniquely beautiful vegetation.
