The Hawaiian Islands

The Hawaiian Islands (Hawaiian: Mokupuni o Hawai‘i) are an archipelago of eight major islands, several atolls, numerous smaller islets, and undersea seamounts in the North Pacific Ocean, extending some 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometres) from the island of Hawaiʻi in the south to northernmost Kure Atoll. Once known as the "Sandwich Islands", the name chosen by James Cook in honour of the then First Lord of the Admiralty John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, the archipelago now takes its name from the largest island in the cluster.

The United States state of Hawaii occupies the archipelago almost in its entirety, with the sole exception of Midway island, which is instead an unincorporated territory within the United States Minor Outlying Islands.

The Hawaiian Islands are the exposed peaks of a great undersea mountain range known as the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain, formed by volcanic activity over a hotspot in

the Earth's mantle. The islands are about 1,860 miles (3,000 km) from the nearest continent.

杭州西湖

杭州西湖位于浙江省杭州市西部,著名潟湖,旧称武林水也称

西子湖,是江南三大名湖之一。其南、北、西三面环山,面积约6.39Km²,南北长约3.2千米,东西宽约2.8千米,绕湖一周近15千米。西湖

平均水深2.27米,水体容量约为1429万m³。

云山秀水是西湖的底色;山水与人文交融是西湖风景名胜区的

格调。

西湖之妙,在于湖裹山中,山屏湖外,湖和山相得益彰;

西湖的美,在于晴中见潋滟,雨中显空蒙,无论雨雪晴阴都能

成美景。

湖中被孤山、白堤、苏堤、杨公堤分隔,按面积大小分别为外

西湖、西里湖、北里湖、小南湖及岳湖等五片水面,苏堤、白堤越过湖面,小瀛洲、湖心亭、阮公墩三个人工小岛鼎立于外西湖湖心,夕照山的雷峰塔与宝石山的保俶塔隔湖相映,由此形成了“一山、二塔、三岛、三堤、五湖”的基本格局。

2011年6月24日,杭州西湖列入世界遗产名录。
