Hawaii National Park is in the southeast of Hawaii. It is very close
to the south cape of Hawaii. Hawaii National Park was made
on the first of August 1916 as Hawaii National Park and on the twenty-second
of September 1961 its name was changed from Hawaii National Park
to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It was formed by erupting volcanoes
in that area. Lots of adventuresome travelers came to see it. Hawaii Volcanoes
National Park is the result of 70 million years of volcanism.
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has the two most active volcanoes in that
area. People can not go in the volcanoes. Pigs, wolves, hawks,
honey creepers, happy face spiders and hoary bats live there.
People harvest sweet potatoes, taro and other crops.
The park rangers have a big responsibility. They show a lot of nature
to you They guide you through the park. The park rangers help and
protect the animals and teach you how to help the animals in the park.
The park rangers help people who get lost in the park. Sometimes the park
rangers can't use machines in the park to help people. Sometimes
the park rangers have to put out fires from people.
