The Big Island
Hello again!
Green Sea Turtle's lesson
All right, today we want to learn something about the Big Island. That’s were we live and Honu and R.D. are visiting just now.
Here we are in Kailua-Kona and I am going to tell you about the meaning of those Hawaiian names.
Kailua – Two seas or two currents; town and land division, ancient surfing area.
Kona – Whispering sea, clouds over a calm sea; area on the leeward side of the island.
Then we have the nearby mountains:
Hualalai - Overflowing; large volcanic mountain in North Kona.
Mauna Kea – White mountain; tallest peak in Hawaii, often covered with snow.
Mauna Loa – Long mountain; volcanic mountain, the largest land mass in Hawaii.
