Mauna Loa means “Long Mountain” in the Hawaiian language, an apt name for the largest volcano on Earth as well as one of the largest single mountain masses in the world. Mauna Loa’s dome is 75 miles (120 km) long and 64 miles (103 km) wide. Its summit caldera, Moku‘āweoweo, has an area of nearly 6 square miles (15 square km) and a depth of 600 feet (180 meters).
