The creation of new land


As you can see from the photographs taken from today's volcano tour the lava is currently running into the ocean. This is causing the big island of Hawaii to increase in size.

The current size of the big island is 4,038 square miles. How does this compare to the size of the other islands? All the other Hawaiian Islands could easily fit into the Big Island more than two times over.
