10. Kilauea Volcano

Kilauea is one of a pair of volcanoes in the aforementioned Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Many have referred to it as “the world’s only drive-in volcano” because you can actually see it from the comfort of your vehicle. Its huge crater is said to be the home of the volcano goddess, Pele. For an entire decade, it was filled with lava but in 2018 it all disappeared when the crater walls fell.

 

11. The Island That Grows

File this one under “F” for “fun and fascinating.” As the boiling hot lava from mighty Kilauea flows downhill into the ocean, it actually extends the shoreline of the island. In fact, Kilauea’s eruptions in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park have created more than 100 acres of new oceanfront land.
