blog entry 4

I am visiting mount Mauna Loa , located in Hawaii. The capital of Hawaii is Honolulu. no states border Hawaii. Hawaii is located in the central Pacific Ocean.The GPS coordinates of Hawaii are (Latitude: 21° 18' 25 N, Longitude: 157° 51' 30 W).The climate in Hawaii is warm and gentle trade winds, mild temperatures and sunny skies. Mauna Loa is Hawaiian for "Long Mountain", because of its long, gently sloping shape. More than 4 km above sea level, Mauna Loa is the largest volcano on the planet. Its long submarine flanks descend to the sea floor an additional 5 km, and the sea floor in turn is depressed by Mauna Loa's great mass another 8 km. The huge volcano covers half of the Island of Hawaii and by itself amounts to about 85 percent of all the other Hawaiian Islands combined Mauna Loa is Earth's most active volcano. mount Mauna Loa
is important because it's earth's largest volcano. The distance from Hawaii to Washington is about 2701 miles. I got to mount Mauna Loa by a boat. It cost me 3,499 dollar's to get there. I had a trouble free trip. The difference from my last location is that mount mauna loa is way bigger.
