The Hawaiian Islands are part of an archipelago in the North Pacific Ocean which extends for about 2000 miles from the big island Hawaii to Ocean Island on the northwest. (Latitude 18° 55' north, Longitude 154° 40' and 162° west.)

Ocean Island | Maro Reef |
Necker Island | Laysan Island |
Midway Island | Lisianski Island |
French Frigate Shoals | Pearl and Hermes Reef |
Gardner Island | Molokaʻi |
Dowsett Reef | Ford Island |

The Hawaiian islands are mostly volcanic with some coral. They really are tops of high mountains.

a. Māui was a demigod, a super man. Māui fished them from the ocean.
b. According to tradition, a large bird was seen wheeling and dipping over the ocean and suddently it dropped an egg, a very large egg, which burst into several fragments. These fragments formed the Hawaiian archipelago in the middle of the Pacific. The islands stretched from the northwest to the southeast, the eight islands the largest of them all.
c. The old Hawaiians believed that Kū, Kāne and Lono created the world and its people. Kāne took a large calabash cover and threw it into space to form the sky. He places his hand in the calabash and brought out a flaky white substance, threw it into the air and it became the clouds. He again placed his hand into the calabash and drew out a handful of seeds. These he threw into space and formed the stars, sun and moon. Then, once more he placed his hand in the calabash and folding his fingers formed valleys and lowlands. After the earth was created and springs of water had come into existence, Lono planted all things which made the earth beautiful. Kū was to create man.
7
Most of the year, the trade winds blow and the cool currents in the ocean around the islands keep the temperature lower than that of any other part of the world in the same latitude. The islands don't have bad storms like other parts of the world and the climate is warm and comfortable. The windward side usually is the rainy side, and the leeward side dry, except when the Kona winds blow from the south. There is snow during winter on the highest mountains; Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on Hawaii, Haleakalā on Maui.
8
The soils are volcanic, sandy and hard clay. Volcanic soils are rich and plants grow easily. Sandy soils and cinders help to make hard soils soft for plants to grow well. Clay soil is good for taro.
