The Hawai’ian Goddess of Fire, Pele, is thought to reside at the Halema’uma’u pit crater, inside the larger Kilauea summit caldera (learn more here).

The Big Island of Hawai’i is itself composed of 5 different volcanoes, the two largest of which, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, reach just under 13,800 ft. and 13,700 ft. above sea level respectively.

Amazingly, when considering that the island rises for many thousands of feet (19,000 or so!) straight from the Pacific Ocean floor, both mountains are actually taller than Mount Everest, making them candidates for the tallest mountains on the planet!
