Just confirming for those that don't know which Hawaiian island is which, Mauna Kea is on the same island as the erupting volcano.
- Johnny555 8y agoFor further clarification, this island is colloquially called "The Big Island", while its official name is "Hawaiʻi" or "Island of Hawaiʻi", which causes further confusion since that's also the state's name (which consists of 8 main islands and many minor islands). So when news reports refer to "Hawaiʻi", it's hard to be certain what they are talking about without further clarification.
