First glimpse of Hawaiʻi, known as the Big Island, from a plane landing in Kona International Airport. Hawaiʻi is the largest and southeastern-most island of Hawaii. It has 63% of the Hawai'ian archipelago's combined landmass but only 13% of Hawaii's population. The west side of the island is mostly composed of barren lava fields criss-crossed by dirt roads.
