NAME: Lanai Volcano
STATUS: Extinct
LOCATION: Lanai Island, Hawaii
FROM THE USGS:
"Lanai Island is an extinct volcano with only the shield stage
represented. Its lavas have been dated at 1.28 million years—too young,
compared to the ages of nearby volcanoes. A large landslide deposit on the
sea floor south-southwest of Lana‘i, named the Clark landslide, was derived
from Lana‘i or Penguin Bank."
