Hawaii Island is where myth and science intersect, revealing meaning and a deeper understanding of the natural world. Here, unique adapted species like the scarlet-red ‘I’iwi honeycreeper tether at the brink of extinction. Two of the world’s largest mountains rise from the sea, creating deserts, rainforests, and even subtropical permafrost. Hawaii Island is a place where native and introduced plants, animals, and people dynamically interact in one of nature’s greatest classrooms.
