Hawaii's

Hawaii's really the land of milk and honey.

The Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii's Big Island is erupting.

An explosion caused by lava oozing into the ocean sent molten rock crashing through the roof of a sightseeing boat off Hawaii's Big Island, injuring 23 people.

Officials on Hawaii's Big Island, where the Kilauea volcano has been spewing huge amounts of lava for months, are bracing for the possibility that frequent earthquakes will cut off a major highway.

Mongoose are just one of many threats facing Hawaii's birds. There are other invasive animals and plants, insect-borne diseases, and habitat destruction. Bortner says the Fish and Wildlife Service has joined with other groups to restore habitats, install predator traps and fencing and support captive breeding programs for such endangered bird species as the Hawaiian crow.
