Kilauea is the youngest and
southeastern most volcano on
the Big Island of Hawaii.
Topographically Kilauea
appears as only a bulge on the
southeastern flank of Mauna
Loa, and so for many years
Kilauea was thought to be a
mere satellite of its giant
neighbor, not a separate
volcano. However, research
over the past few decades
shows clearly that Kilauea has
its own magma-plumbing system,
extending to the surface from
more than 60 km deep in the
earth.
