Hawaii
the Big Island
Waimea- Kohala . (14 miles northeast) Kona Intl. (55 miles southwest) Hilo Intl. (49 miles southeast)
Kohala completed its shield-building stage 245,000 years ago and has been in decline ever since. Potassium-argon dating indicates that the volcano last erupted about 120,000 years ago in the late Pleistocene. The United States Geological Survey has assessed the extinct Kohala as a low-risk area.
Kohala is the oldest volcano on the island and makes up the northern part of the Big Island. Kohala is extinct, last erupting 60,000 years ago. Mauna Kea is dormant and is the highest volcano on the Big Island. It most likely last erupted between 6,000 and 4,500 years ago.
