摘要
如今在夏威夷群岛中,仅夏威夷岛仍有活跃的火山活动,总面积1309平方千米的夏威夷火山国家公园便坐落在这一岛屿的东南部。公园内有冒纳罗亚和基拉韦厄两座活火山,它们位居全球最活跃、被研究得最透彻的火山之列。独特而多变的火山地貌、多样的气候类型以及极度远离大陆的地理位置,孕育出众多夏威夷特有的物种和生态系统。
Volcanoes in the Hawaii Islands are still active today. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, covering an area of 1,309 square meters, is located in the island’s southeast part. The two active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa, are among the most active and most thoroughly-studied volcanoes in the world. The unique and capricious volcanic landforms, diverse types of climate, and geological location that keeps long distance from the continent, have nurtured distinctive species and ecological systems in Hawaii.
