I found this great source of information for kids and for Hawaii vacation planners. Virtually Hawaii provides what we call “Virtual Field Trips“, which take you on different tours around the islands. The objective is to show you parts of Hawaii from space and the air, and then to show you ground photos of points of interest. While these trips have a strong geology flavor (the Virtually Hawaii Team has many geologists as members), we hope these tours will be used by educators at grade schools and community colleges for a variety of other types of projects.
