The island of Hawaii teems with lofty volcanic peeks - Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa - remote tropical forests, water-carved valleys, frozen fields of lava, black and empty stretches of desert, white- and green-sand beaches, fountains of fire, cattle-grazing pastures, rugged coastlines and wind-swept cliffs. This coffee table volume captures all of the beauty of the Big Island of Hawaii and has become a classic in the travel book genre. Includes maps and special vintage postcard endsheets.
