绿色沙滩
夏威夷大岛有一片叫作Papakolea的海滩,那里的沙子呈现不可思议的绿色,和湛蓝的海水相映成趣。
绿沙滩的形成归因于世界上最大的活火山—Mauna Loa火山的喷发,火山岩中含有大量橄榄石成分。在这里,可以享受到著名的“绿沙浴”,有保养皮肤和治疗热带皮肤病的功效。

Hawaii's first national park
After several attempts, an area surrounding the Kīlauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes is designated as the Hawaii National Park, the first national park in a US territory. In 1961, it will be renamed Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. During summer 2018 the park will be closed to visitors because of explosive eruptions from the Halemaʻumaʻu Crater.
