Most landscapes change over thousands of years.

Volcanoes can reshape them in a matter of hours, and on Hawaii's Big Island, they continue to do just that.

Recognising the scientific and natural importance of this ever-changing environment, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was established in 1916.

For more than a century, it has protected more than 1,430 square kilometres of volcanic terrain, native forests and rare wildlife.
