Originally compiled by Ruth Wing (1922-1923) - Web version compiled by David 
B. Pearson and Graceann Maciolek (2004-2005)  Note: The web version retains 
the text as originally written in the 1923 book, and being a contempory work, 
not a history, it contains some factual errors.

Introduction to Kilauea

http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/

Kilauea is the youngest and southeastern most volcano on the Big Island of 
Hawai`i. Topographically Kilauea appears as only a bulge on the southeastern 
flank of Mauna Loa, and so for many years Kilauea was thought to be a mere 
satellite of its giant neighbor, not a separate volcano. However, research 
over the past few decades shows clearly that Kilauea has its own magma-
plumbing system, extending to the surface from more than 60 km deep in the 
earth.
