Не могу назвать себя специалистом по Гавайям, но я бы не носил гордое звание блогера, если бы это мне когда-либо мешало. Из восьми основных островов я пока побывал только на трёх - Кауаи, Мауи и Оаху и теперь могу их расставить в порядке убывания приличия.
Кауаи - самый хороший, такой милый и деревенский. Мауи уже более испорчен массивным сельским

вот офицальная страничка usgs hawaii

When asked about Hawaiian volcanoes, most people imagine the Island of Hawai`i and its eruptions at Kilauea or Mauna Loa volcanoes. But East Maui volcano has witnessed at least ten eruptions in the past 1,000 years, and numerous eruptions have occurred there in the past 10,000 years. Thus, East Maui's long eruptive history and recent activity indicate that the volcano will erupt in the future.

извергался халеакала из множества шлаковых конусов, которые вполне себе все стоят, а вулканического кратера у него никогда не было.
The summit of 3055-m Haleakala contains a dramatic, 3.5 x 9.5 km summit crater that is widely breached on the north and SE sides. The "crater" is not of volcanic origin, but formed as a result of the coalescence of headward erosion of the Koolau and Kaupo valleys. Subsequently the crater has been partially filled by a chain of young cinder cones and lava flows erupted along a major rift zone that extends across the basaltic shield volcano from the SW to the east flanks. Another less prominent rift zone trends north from the summit. The most recent eruption of Haleakala was thought to have occurred between the exploring voyages of La Perouse in 1786 and Vancouver in 1793, but uncertainty surrounds the date of this event, which could have occurred in about 1750 AD (anthropological evidence) or several centuries earlier (radiocarbon dates).
