This park offers a front-row seat to the primal forces that shape our planet, home to two of the world's most active volcanoes: Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Visitors can drive Crater Rim Drive, hike across volcanic deserts and through lush rainforests, and descend into a massive lava tube. When active, la...
Why this score
Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park scores 9.1/10 due to its unique volcanic landscapes and diverse ecosystems, which are rare in the world. However, limited accessibility during eruptions and remote location can be challenges.
Scoring methodology
Kazumura Cave is a privately accessible lava tube within Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano. It represents a significant geological feature due to its extensive length, exceeding 40 miles and reaching considerable depth. The cave provides researchers and volcanologists with a unique opportunity to study subte...
The Halemaʻumaʻu fumaroles are volcanic gas vents located within the Kīlauea caldera in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii. These openings continuously release sulfur dioxide and other volcanic gases from the magma chamber below. The emissions are a primary driver of volcanic...
Why this score
Globally iconic volcanic setting, intense degassing, dynamic crater changes, and exceptional scientific observation underpin outstanding consensus stature.
Scoring methodology
Nāhuku, or Thurston Lava Tube, offers a unique glimpse into volcanic activity within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This accessible lava tube was created approximately 500 years ago when flowing basalt formed a channel through solid rock. It’s notable for its relatively intact interior and provides...
The Sulphur Banks, known in Hawaiian as Ha'akulamanu, is a geothermal fumarolic area located near the summit caldera of Kīlauea volcano in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Volcanic gases, primarily sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, escape from underground magma and deposit bright yellow sulfur cr...
Why this score
Accessible boardwalk, colorful sulfur deposits, strong educational value, and high visitor recognition; odor and modest scale are common drawbacks.
Scoring methodology
Ha'akulamanu, commonly called Sulphur Banks, is a geothermal area in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park on the island of Hawai'i. Volcanic gases rise through fractures near Kīlauea, producing steaming ground and depositing sulfur minerals that can appear yellow along the trail. A maintained walking rou...
Sulphur Banks, known in Hawaiian as Ha'akulamanu, is a solfatara field within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the island of Hawai'i. Located near the summit caldera of Kīlauea volcano, the area features fumaroles that emit sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide gases, depositing bright yellow sulfur...
Sulfur Bank is a geothermal area on the island of Hawaiʻi, located within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park near the Kīlauea caldera. Hydrogen sulfide gas escapes from fissures in the volcanic rock, and upon contact with oxygen in the air, oxidizes to deposit bright yellow crystals of native sulfur on...
Steaming Bluff is a notable grassy cliff located in Hawaii on the edge of the Kilauea caldera. The area is characterized by fractures in the ground that continuously release visible volcanic steam into the cooler air above. This geological feature, classified as a fumarole, is driven by the active v...
Wahinekapu, also known as Steaming Bluff, is a line of fumaroles along the northern caldera rim of Kīlauea volcano on the island of Hawaiʻi, located within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Groundwater percolating downward meets hot volcanic rock and returns to the surface as steam through fractures...
The Steam Vents are accessible fumaroles near the summit of Kilauea in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Rainwater seeps into cracks, encounters rocks heated by magma below the surface, and returns as visible water vapor through openings beside the trail and parking area. Unlike vents that emit large...
