How to Pronounce Niihau
To pronounce Niihau. I Wanna Rest Strum. That video shows you how to pronounce lennox. A few come from the island of Niihau, where only Hawaiian is spoken.
Paraguay 2 Big Island
A curiosity I had was how the island was even found. How did they even find the island in the first place? In 300-500 AD, Polynesians from the South Pacific, probably the Marquesas Isles (900 northeastern of Tahiti ), found the double-hull Canus of Hawaii.
How did they find the isles? Have they stumbled across the isles? Polynesians not only stumbled across the hawaii anisles. The Polynesians were made aware of the presence of the Hwaiian Isles by means of erupting volcanoes that illuminated the nightsky. The Hawaiians lived in paradise one afternoon, and the next was a slave sacrificed for people.
Each of these isles owes its survival to vulcanic activities. In the first place of these deities stood the vulcano god Pele, who was living inside the Kilauea vulcano. Didn't make Pele your emblematic deity. Fervent, envious and sensual, Pele spends much of her spare minute with enthusiasts. When they were used up, it dumped them by coating them with melted arctic orbs.
She had two big competitors. A beloved who could compete with Pele was Kamapua'a, a demigod who hid the filaments that were growing down his back carrying a cloak. From the beginning he and Pele were divided; she was covering the country with sterile volcanic ash, he was bringing rainy streams to quench their fire, and calling the boar to excavate the country and soften it so that seed could flourish.
It was Poliahu who was the Ice Queen, a beautiful woman who like Pele tempted pretty human chieftains. Pele's envy flared after she had an affair with a changeable young Maui chieftain by the name of Ai-wohi-ku-pua when he travelled to the big island to farm a dead chieftain's wife called Amie (surely there is a play on words here just begs to be used).
Pele saw Ai-wohi-ku-pua in the shape of a man as a beautiful Hina-i-ka-malama on the shells. And then he went to the big island where Poliahu tempted him. Dressed as Hina-i-ka-malama, Pele hunted them and finally won back the wavering chieftain by tempting him on Mount Kamana-eye-wanna-Laie-a.
I' always thought Zeus thought the records were rank behaviour, but these fierce Hawaiian deities were quite lewd in their own right. In case you would rather have the scholarly account of the origin of the islands than the mythologic account, you must begin with the hot spot theory.
At the centre of the Pacific Plate is a solid hotspot, where magnma (lava) from the earth's nucleus tries to exert downward thrust through a vulcanic opening on the planet's orbit. Beside the Hwaiian hotspot there are about 100 hotspots on the planet, among them an one in Yellowstone Park (Old Faithful is a manifestation).
There was Kauai, the oldest of the archipelago, just above the Hot Spot. Kauai spawned volcanic eruptions of cava. But as the Pacific Plate gradually drifting north-west, Kauai was pulled away from the hot spot and stopped growing. Kauai is the most abrupt of the islands today, for good reasons.
Kauai is the oldest of the islands to have been eroded for 6 million years. Breathtaking sights on Kauai such as the Napali Coast, the Waimea Canyon and the Kalalau Valley bear witness to the strength of the natural world. The Kauai is also the most wooded of the islands because there was more natural history to extract the volcanic rock and forrest.
There was no competition when I likened the pristine nature of Kauai to the great island. Cauai had a breathtaking scenery, while the Big Island scenery was relatively ho-hum in contrast. It was not constructed in a single working hour, nor, apparently, was the Hawaii islands. Two million years after Kauai turned away from the hot spot, the hot spot became Oahu.
One and a half million years ago, the Hot Spot built four twin isles - Maui, Lanai, Molokai and a little-known Kaho'olawe Isle. Gradually but certainly these small isles were drifting away, making it possible that the Big Isles did not form until half a million years ago.
When the new isle floated, a new vulcano called Mauna Loa was centred over the hot spot. You can see why the Big Iceland is the largest - it is the New Kid on the Block. Also, since Mauna Loa and K?lauea are interactive volcanos, the Great Isle grows as I type.
From January 1983 to September 2007, 600 acre of volcanic lands were added to the islands by streams of water from the K?lauea vulcano, which lengthened the coast line to the outside. believe it or not, the next big island of Hawaii is already building up as we talk. Hawaiians believed that the islands in the south-east were getting younger.
To their knowledge, the northern part of the island (Niihau and Kauai) was much older than the south-eastern part ("Maui and Hawaii"). Since the Hawaiians could see no reasonable cause for this trend, they turned to our friend Pele and accused her. It is said that Pele, the volcano's fire goddess, used to live on Kauai.
As her older sibling, Namakaokahai, the goddess of the sea, assaulted her, Pele escaped to the island of Oahu. As Namakaokahai forces her to escape again, Pele went south-east to Maui and eventually to Hawaii, also known as Big Island. Pele's mythic Kauai to Hawaii flights, alluding to the perpetual battle between the eruption of volcanoes and their subsequent sea wave-emergence, are in line with the geological findings gained hundreds of years later, which clearly show that the island is getting younger from the north-west to the south-east.
Pele currently lives in Halemaumau Crater on the top of Kilauea Volcano. PHELDON: Pele this, Pele that. All myths begin with Pele. I have my own personal theorie why Pele is the favourite deity. As I see it, she is the only divine with a name that can be spelled or pronounced (see'Namakaokahai').
From the looks of things, Pele hasn't changed clothes in over a million years. As Bird tells us that he takes typing classes in penitentiary, I proposed that he should draw up an exit plan using an old cistern as an avenue. Said there was a cistern near the penitentiary that could get through a brief passage.
In order to kill off the moment we went to the caves, Bird proposed that we meet. When we got to the caves, the street ended. From what I could see, the country was full of dry cava. Kilometres of grey-black desert.
A rough trail for our mini bus was laid out in the caves. All in the way of its stream of water was leveled - houses, streets, rainforests. A number of cities were devastated by the Mauna Loa rush: the lavas of the Mauna Loa: In the last twenty years, the overall loss of ownership has passed $61 million, making this outbreak the most expensive in Hawaii's entirety.
Grasslands are woods, the darkest is volcano. It prolongs the shoreline. Practically no casualty. In fact, small kids are permitted to seat and see the approaching caves. I' m informed that we would see brand-new volcanic ash pouring out of the world.
Well, now that we were here at last, I wanted to see some real cava. Those expeditions were a good deal! Not much nutrient in the caves. It is made of bassalt. That is, the whole area was a huge reflector that radiated sunlight in all directions.
Although I wore a cap and applied a tonic, my face and throat were still very suntanned by the continuous reflection on the area. The image is intended to give an impression of how violent the stream of Lavastrom was. It was one of the few green spaces that the volcanic eruption had overlooked.
Lavastream had leveled everything in view. As far as the eyes could see, the fields of Lavafield went on and on. And I wondered when we'd get to the stream. Guess it was some kind of cesspool we could gaze down into. Said they had no clue where the cava was.
Said the volcano was coming in different places every single second. As I was saying, I figured we'd go to a pre-determined whirlpool. It was a Lavafield that had started to look the same everywhere. Only a metre away from a stream of water that would have taken my whole leg in seconds!
Turns out there are three tones of volcanic rock - deep gray, metallic gray, and fiery gray volcanic rock that blends the two. Darkgrey is sure, but not the bright Silvergrey I almost steped on. It seemed to have cool, but in fact it was almost as warm as the reddish one.
The image above shows the gleaming silvery cava. Gradually I got the handle and was studying the volcanic ash around me. Well, having been alerted, I quickly learnt the distinction between the sure deep gray volcanic rock, which was chilly, and the perilous silverware lurking everywhere.
As they flanked us on both sides, the leaders made sure that we did not inadvertently migrate into clean air. It was a true menace! Mrs Curie has done an astonishing job in the new area of radiation, and has won two Nobel Prizes. I had a shortage of paintbrush with the disguised cava.
When we went back to the coach, I told Marla about the foolishness of the leaders not to tell us about the silvery crayfish.
