Hawaii is a place known for being the most isolated population center on the face of the earth, and the Hawaiian Islands are the projecting tops of the biggest mountain range in the world, making them a goal to climb for most hikers and mountain climbers.

Another important fact about Hawaii is that an underwater portion of the Hawaiian Volcanic Ridge and Emperor Seamounts extend to the northwest and north for another 1600 mils to make the entire Hawaiian-Emperor Volcanic Chain over 3100 miles long in total. It contains a whopping 107 volcanic mountains and represents the volcanism that has been going on in Hawaii for over 70 million years.

The fact that the Hawaiian Islands are biologically unique is another of the most interesting facts about Hawaii, and this is owing to their isolation. They were colonized initially by only the relatively few species of plants and animals that were suitably adapted for the long journey over 2400+ miles of open ocean. Over 4300 species of plants and animals exist only in the eight high islands, and the 1000 native plants evolved from as few as 280 original plan colonists and 100 endemic bird species developed from as few as 15 original aviators.
