A NEW Island for Hawii –
If you read our
recent blog about the recent earthquake activity, you see the epicenter of that
activity near the south end of Hawaii Island.
And, it is near where another active and growing underwater volcano is
also forming.
About 19 miles off the
southeast coast of Moku o Keawe, and approximately 3,200 feet below sea level,
an active underwater volcano is slowly making its way to the surface. Back in
1955, scientists named the volcano “Lōʻihi” (long) based solely on its physical
characteristics.
The new name chosen by a select group is “KAMA ‘EHUA KANALOA.” Because
an undersea volcano is the birth of Pele from the ocean, the undersea volcano
is a kama ʻehu a Kanaloa, a reddish child of Kanaloa.
