USA - HAWAII - Oahu - O'ahu

Hawaii is one of the youngest geological formations in the world with some of the world's most active volcanoes and the world's tallest sea mountain. Oahu is the third largest of the Hawaiian Islands; however, it is the most populous of the islands in the U.S. state of Hawaii. The island is the result of two separate shield volcanoes: Waiʻanae and Koʻolau, with a broad "valley" between them.

Honolulu is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Hawaii. The city gained worldwide recognition following Japan's attack on nearby Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which prompted the entry of the U.S. into World War II; the harbor remains a major naval base, hosting the U.S. Pacific Fleet, the world's largest naval command.
