Hawaii Island
Largest Hawaiian landmass
Hawaii Island is the largest and easternmost island of the Hawaiian archipelago, often called the Big Island to distinguish it from the state that shares its name.
The island contains active volcanoes, including Kilauea and Mauna Loa, and its diverse terrain ranges from tropical beaches to snow-capped peaks.
