Flashback  to the scenario when Pele, the Goddess of Fire, first caught sight of the beauty and grandeur of Mauna Loa volcano, the world’s largest and tallest – covering almost half of the Big Island. As the folklore had it, Pele was fleeing the wrath of Kampuaa, the goddess of water, who in a fit of jealous rage was after Pele’s head using her power to immerse Pele’s hiding places under water – Pele included! When Pele came upon Mauna Loa Mountain she liked what she saw – high enough to make Kampaa’s water power ineffective, the spectacular view of Mauna Loa struck her too! Reasons enough to make Mauna Loa her home. Forever!
