Description
The five volcanoes that make up the Big Island of Hawaii (Kohala, Mauna Kea, Hualalai, Mauna Loa, Kilauea) are shown in this topographic map. The sites where drill cores were collected (HSDP2, HSDP1, SOH1 and SOH4) are marked by red dots and labeled according to the year drilling was completed and total depth. The end of shield-stage Mauna Kea shoreline is defined by a marked break in slope and is shown offshore by a heavy red curve. The dashed line shows the extrapolated shoreline beneath the younger Mauna Loa surface lavas near the HSDP sites.
