Book Description
Excerpt from Geography of the Hawaiian Islands The volcanic fires ceased first on Kauai, and so, as it became greatly eroded and acquired more forms of plant life, it has been called the oldest island of the group; this does not mean, how ever, that it appeared above the surface of the ocean first, or even before Hawaii, the youngest island, which, with its two active volcanoes, is still in the making process, though it has already been built up 8575 feet higher than Kauai. The surface features of the group are characterized by lofty mountains with gentle slopes, which are cut up by many gorges of great depth. The valleys of West Maui and Kauai are among the grandest in the world. The windward or northeast sides terminate in cliffs, which, on Hawaii and Molokai, are several thousand feet high in places. The upper slopes of the moun tains are covered with a dense tropical growth of great beauty, which extends nearly to the sea on the windward side. Situated as they are at the crossroads of the steamer routes across the Pacific, the Hawaiian Islands occupy a position of great commercial and strategic' importance - and thus well merit the epithet which is applied to them, The Key of the Pacific.
