Hawaii’s Big Island isn’t just big, it’s still growing. a new volcano, Lo’ihi, began forming about 18 miles off the southeast coast of the Big Island. In time, Loihi may join its mass with that of Kilauea, again changing the size and shape of the Big Island. It is estimated that Lo’ihi, whose summit lies approximately 3,178 feet below the surface of the ocean today, will begin to protrude above the surface in about 10,000 years. quoted from volcanolive.com
