"The loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean." -- Mark Twain
Hawaii is the world's most geographically isolated landmass,
located 2,400 miles from the West Coast of the U.S. and often called the "Crossroads of the Pacific."
Many people are surprised to learn that Hawaii actually consists of 137 islands stretching across
more than 6,400 square miles in the North Pacific Ocean.
The eight major islands commonly referred to as the Hawaiian Islands are
Ni'ihau,
Kauai,
Oahu,
Molokai,
Lanai,
Kaho'olawe,
Maui, and the
Big Island of Hawaii.
