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. Recognizing the scientific and natural importance of this ever-changing environment, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was established on August 1, 1916. For more than a century, it has protected over 350,000 acres of volcanic terrain, native forests, and rare wildlife.
