Hawaii island

Mauna Kea, meaning "White Mountain" in Hawaiian as it is known for its snow capped summit, hosts the Keck Observatory. Though it isn't the highest mountain, as Mt. Everest holds that honor, it is the largest mountain on earth when measured from its base which starts at the sea floor. Mauna Loa, meaning "Long Mountain", is the second largest mountain in Hawaii and is known for its macadamia nut orchards which are found all over its slopes. Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes on earth and is the home of Halemaumau crater, one of only five molten lava pits found in the world. In Hawaiian mythology, it is also the home of Pele, the volcanoe fire goddess.

Maui island

Haleakala, meaning "House of the Sun", is known for its breath-taking sunrise views and is the third largest mountain in Hawaii.

Oahu island

Daimond Head is the most widely known natural landmark when the thought of Hawaii comes to mind and offers amazing views of Waikiki, its beaches and Honolulu in the distance when standing at its summit

Kauai island

Mt. Waialeale is the rainests spot on earth. As such the island, known for its lush green scenery due to the heavy rainfall, is also called the Garden Isle

These are but a few of the mountains in Hawaii, but also its most famous ones.
