Desc: World Natural Heritage Hawaii: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park: Directed by Norbert Vander. Hawaii is a scene of opposites, said to be born of fire and water. The mountain Manua Kea, one of the most fascinating sights of this planet, which rises 10.000 meters from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean into the skies of the south sea, can be seen as a symbol of this diversity. It has been a part of the Hawaiian volcano national park located on Big Island since its founding back in 1916.
