Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

English: - Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, displays the results of 70 million years of volcanism, migration, and evolution—processes that thrust a bare land from the sea and clothed it with complex and unique ecosystems and a distinct human culture.

Deutsch: - Auf der größten Insel von Hawaii, im gleichnamigen Bundesstaat der USA gelegen, befindet sich im Hawaii Volcanoes Nationalpark der aktivste Vulkan der Welt, der Kilauea. Der Park reicht von der Pazifik-Küste bis zum größtem Vulkan, dem 4.169 Meter hohen Mauna Loa und umfasst ein komplexes und einzigartiges Ökosystem. Das Ergebnis von 70 Millionen Jahren Vulkanismus, Migration und Evolution kann im Park beobachtet werden.

日本語: - ハワイ火山国立公園(―かざんこくりつこうえん、Hawaii Volcanoes National Park)は、アメリカ合衆国ハワイ州ハワイ島の南に広がる火山地帯を中心とした国立公園。
