Hawaii is believed to have been first settled by Polynesians, arriving by sea, about a thousand years ago. It is a chain of volcanic islands in the approximate center of the Pacific Plate, by far the largest of the earth's tectonic plates. A volcanic "hot spot" seems to have formed there because magma from below had to break through this vast plate somewhere.
European contact with Hawaii began with Captain James Cook. That is why the British flag has always been a part of the flag of Hawaii, from when it was an independent kingdom, then a republic, then a U.S. state. The national anthem of Hawaii when it was an independent kingdom was the same as Britain's. The islands used to be known as the Sandwich Islands.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Hawaii#/media/File:Flag_of_Hawaii.svg
Hawaii became a united kingdom, encompassing all of the islands, in 1795. The last two islands joined voluntarily in 1810. Before this, each island had been independent. The islands were united by King Kamehameha. His family dynasty ruled until followed by the election of another king, when the first dynasty became childless. This second dynasty was that of King Kalakaua.
The largest island is the one that is called Hawaii. The largest city, Honolulu, is located on the island of Oahu. The other islands are: Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kauai and, Nihau.
The last queen of that dynasty was overthrown, in 1893, and Hawaii became a republic, ruled by President Sanford Dole. He ruled until Hawaii was annexed as a territory by the U.S. A relative of his started the Dole food company. Hawaii became a U.S. state in 1959. According to some reports, U.S. President Grover Cleveland wanted to keep the Hawaiian queen in power and the republic was just to wait out his second term in office. Americans became familiar with Hawaii by way of the television show, "Hawaii Five-O", Hawaii being the 50th U.S. state.
Honolulu was not always the capital city of Hawaii, but today is the capital and by far it's largest city. The former royal palace, from when Hawaii was an independent kingdom, is now the Supreme Court. The following scenes begin there. The statue in front is of King Kamehameha, who united Hawaii.

I am not sure which beach is the most famous in the world. On our visit to "Rio De Janeiro", we saw Copacabana and Ipanema Beaches. But the best-known just might be Waikiki, in Honolulu.

The volcanic crater in Honolulu is called Diamond Head. The following scenes begin in the park that is within it.

Immediately west of Honolulu is Pearl Harbor, a good natural harbor. It was the attack on Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941, that brought the U.S. into the Second World War. It seems to me that Alaska and Hawaii became U.S. states because the two were sites of conflict in the Second World War. Japanese forces invaded some of the Aleutian Islands. If the Pearl Harbor attack had taken place in San Juan instead Puerto Rico, which is much closer to the U.S. mainland, would have become a state instead?

Maui is also a significantly populated Hawaiian island. This is the town of Kahului, about 150 km or 100 miles from Honolulu.

The largest of the Hawaiian Islands, although sparsely populated, is the one that is actually called Hawaii. If it's underwater portion is included, Mauna Kea is actually the highest mountain in the world. Since it's summit is above so much of the atmosphere, it is an ideal place for astronomical observatories.
In 1962 there was a high-altitude nuclear test called Starfish Prime. The site was about a thousand miles or 1500 km from Honolulu. The test generated much more electromagnetic pulse than expected, which had a destructive effect on the electrical systems and electronic communications of Honolulu. The explosive yield was about 1.4 megatons, which is not much by today's standards.
We saw how the destructive effects on electrical and electronic communications systems could be a part of the Bible prophecies in the posting on this blog, "The End Of The World As We Know It". Remember that 1962 was long before the very intricate and sensitive electronics, in the phones and computers that we are so dependent upon, which could be easily destroyed by such an input of radiation. Most of all, a massive solar storm such as the one in 1859, would send a very destructive surge of radiation across the whole world.
This test was followed, a few seconds later, by a brilliant aurora on the diametrically opposite side of the world. What happened is that atoms were broken apart by the blast. In the earth's magnetic field, the positively-charged protons went in one direction, and the negatively-charged electrons in the other, until they rejoined on the opposite side of the world.

As far as Hawaii and the geological theory, "The Story Of Planet Earth", on the geology blog www.markmeekearth.blogspot.com , notice that Diamond Head, in Honolulu, is on a straight line along with Manchu Picchu, in Peru, and the Sugarloaf-shaped mountains in Rio De Janeiro, on the opposite coast of South America. My theory describes how magma emergence along a former longitudinal line of emergence, from a previous polar era before the landing of the last Continental Asteroid, is what created these features, along with the Hawaiian Islands, which forms a nearly straight line.
Longitudinal lines of magma emergence were perpendicular to the former equators, which changed with the landing of each of the three Continental Asteroids. Notice that this line along the Hawaiian Islands to Rio, which passes through the area of Manchu Picchu, is exactly perpendicular to this undersea ridge off the coast of South America.
This is a former equator, and Manchu Picchu, in Peru, is located right at where this former equator would have met the longitudinal line of emergence.
The present equator, as well as three former equators going back to the one before the first of the three Continental Asteroids, as described in my theory, landed on earth.
Have you ever wondered how a tropical island that is thousands of km away from everything else be densely covered with plant growth? How did the plants get there? Following is a link to "Pterosaurs And Tropical Islands":
