The Island of Hawaii (called the Big Island or Hawaii Island) is a volcanic island in the U.S. state of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean. With an area of 10,432 km, it is the largest island in the United States and larger than all of the other Hawaiian Islands combined.
Traditionally, Hawaii is known as the Big Island because it is the largest of the Hawaiian Islands and some confusion between Hawaii Island and Hawaii State can be avoided.
The Big Island is famous for its volcanoes. Kilauea, the most active, has been erupting almost continuously for more than two decades.
