20 Magnificent Mountains That Will Leave You Breathless

MAUNA LOA IN HAWAII

For those who want to do more than lay on the beaches in Hawaii, check out Mauna Loa, also called “Long Mountain” in Hawaiian. As the world’s largest active volcano and overall mountain, it has erupted nearly 40 times since 1831 and soars at an estimated 33,000 feet above sea floor. This 75-mile-long shield volcano is characterized by its rolling slopes, rugged terrain, and black rock. It’s certainly a site to see while on the Big Island.
