Isolated in the mid #Pacific, the Hawaiian Islands are the most remote major #island group on earth. Formed by a volcanic "hot spot," they are 2,400 miles from the nearest continent. #Haleakala #NationalPark on #Maui is an International Biosphere Reserve that supports a unique, native ecosystem in this maturing volcanic landscape.
