Hawaii in $420s-$470s RT

This bundle of fares might be almost as big as Kīlauea, but only one contains the spirit of a goddess...

The story goes that the fire goddess Pele fled across the ocean to escape the wrath of her envious sister. To create safe hiding places for her family, she built volcanic craters as went, creating much of Hawaiʻi's landscape. But the sister kept finding them, and pursued Pele from island to island until they finally waged an epic battle that ended with Pele's spirit erupting from the caldera of Mauna Loa.

There's more to the story (and tons of variations) but you can still visit many of Pele's creations today. Haleakalā and Leʻahi are pivotal places in her tale, but Halemaʻumaʻu Crater in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park is said to be her permanent residence these days.

You can even watch a livestream of it — you never know when Pele will feel like putting on a show :-)
