 Welcome to Hawaii, a land of surprises!

But Hawaii will always be remembered for his Puerto Pearl. Name "Pearl Harbour" is to invoke one of the most significant moments of the twentieth century. Today around the port, a huge military base that helps the government of that country to control all that geographic area. When I arrived at the facility and I walked through the remains of USS Arizona, I could not forget the legendary phrase that President Roosevelt told Congress in your country 8 December 1941: “Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy”, and that led to the declaration of "War of Wars" by an "Uncle Sam" wounded, and as no "surprise".

It is very curious to see how if you get a map of the site notice that the islands are arranged by age and size as you go to the southeast!

But let me tell you that amid the "Ring of Fire", that surrounds most of the Pacific, is this volcanic archipelago that before traveling to the place I studied why has so much geothermal activity without being on the edge of any tectonic plate. Who revealed the mystery to science was J.T. Wilson, a Canadian geophysicist, in 1963, discovered how a "hot spot" (hotspot) runs these latitudes under the oceanic plate. A species of mammoth underground worms that slides south-easterly direction and breaks the crust on its way allowing, with its incalculable energy, that magma rises from the mantle to the outside. Something similar happens at the new Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, although there is still no magma. I'll tell you later why.

The main islands are Kauai, Oahu, Y Mahui Hawaii. It should not equivoquéis the island of Hawaii with the entire archipelago, even if they have the same name. It is very curious to see how if you get a map of the site notice that the islands are arranged by age and size as you go to the southeast! Direction that coincides with the "worm". Kauai is therefore the older and smaller, and so successively up to the novel Hawaii, conocida como “The Big Island”.

Great surfers subjects of Kamehameha I, already knew that Kauai was the island alone and quiet and the young rebellious Hawaii

During my trip to the island of Maui, in the village of Paia, I met a Hawaiian quienme said that before there geophysicists, their ancestors, Great surfers subjects of Kamehameha I, already knew that Kauai was the island alone and quiet and the young rebellious Hawaii. The real reason, explained, was the ancient feud between "Pele", the volcanic goddess and her older sister with an unpronounceable name that rules the seas, and not a "hotspot" said Mr geothermal as. Wilson.

Peel force once had fathered the first child Kauai Island, but in his fight fraternal, Hawaiian female version of Neptune, those forced to leave his newly built temple. The atavistic battle between fire and water has shaped the entire mountain range and Hawaiian submarine.

I then understood the real reason for the situation, the size and the different ages of the various homes of Pele, because when forced leave an island, to lose this activity, sea ??erosion steals off the field dimension.

Today Pele lives in Kilauea, huge un Volcán and "Big Island". Its lava flows underground and holes in the ground caused by their greed, show the titanic fury of the goddess, and like a badly wounded in the trenches they were, shows the guts of our planet.

The virulence of the eruptions is the pulsating blood pressure present in uncontrolled hemorrhage. At least that's what I thought the helicopter flying in a tiny mole that furious, and even then had not met my learned friend, yes I knew I was on a magical. Today I know that is the abode of a superior being disorderly.

The virulence of the eruptions is the pulsating blood pressure present in uncontrolled hemorrhage.

The enraged divinity allows for decades that their skirts were dyed green jungle, and within seconds hundreds of soldiers, tree shaped, burning from the ground up, unable to flee. Their tongues of fire downhill slide into another battle against his eternal sister, and it is on the coast where the race takes place. The smoke proves it.

We do not know who wins, because even think that the water always wins fire, I must tell you that "The Big Island" continues to increase its size, then it is stealing the sea, another surprise.

But mythology aside, on the island of Maui, Sanctuary speak with humpback whales, is to speak of other majestic beings. Encounters with those moving animals are unparalleled and greet you with their bestial fins like you expect. They move precisely along thousands of miles, from the icy waters of southern Alaska, they are also green because of the enormous amount of nutrients that have, to the warm Hawaiian waters, turquoise for that nutrient shortage. So in the summer they feed and develop, and winter, mate and breed while dieting. I was there in February 2008. The show jumping offering, while elegant and happy to show other members of their group, is exciting. 35000 kilos flight landed without style from water, I assure you is a huge "belly flop".

At times like this, like flying over Kilauea, Nature strikes from behind your shoulder and asks with a haughty gesture, what is the opinion you deserve such a display. Then you connect to "she", and humbly and discreetly ask you apologize if you hurt when you in your daily life. I rinse it well being that was unintentional. After your brain, magically, reconnect leaving again feel the delight.

Hawaii was therefore, is and will be a vibrant archipelago, home to the highest mountain, of angry goddesses and spectacular whales. Hawaii fue, the challenge is and will be almost impossible for many explorers, yesteryear with their ships and sextants, today with the most advanced equipment there volcanology. In fact one of the great, Captain James Cook, there met his end in February 1779. Some say it ended up as the main course menu Aboriginal, and everyone believes it was the first European to discover this place to the West… but then this article will finish as I began, and is a big surprise. If I say that there are indications, and very reliable, that the British nofue, but an unknown Spanish, Alvaro de Saavedra Ceron, under the command of Hernán Cortés, who first spotted this place and did not tell anyone to not know its magnificence, ¿The surprise? I was startled.

¡Ah! I almost forgot, Yellowstone magma is still no, because Pele, Pele not, still living in the caldera of Kilauea.
