Mauna Loa

Nov. 4, 2022

The recent incidents of ground shaking and swelling at Mauna Loa indicating that the largest active volcano in the world could erupt.

About:

Mauna Loa is one of five volcanoes that together make up the Big Island of Hawaii, which is the southernmost island in the Hawaiian archipelago.
It’s not the tallest (that title goes to Mauna Kea) but it’s the largest and makes up about half of the island’s land mass.
It sits immediately north of Kilauea volcano, which is currently erupting from its summit crater.
Kilauea is well-known for a 2018 eruption that destroyed 700 homes and sent rivers of lava spreading across farms and into the ocean.
Mauna Loa last erupted 38 years ago.
In written history, dating to 1843, it’s erupted 33 times.
