What are the Hawaiian Islands?

0

The Hawaiian islands, once known as the Sandwich Islands, are an island chain (archipelago) located in the center of the Pacific Ocean, 1,860 miles (3,000 km) from the nearest continent, North America. The Hawaiian islands are located roughly halfway between North America and Asia. The Hawaiian islands are part of the region called Polynesia, which makes up many of the islands in the Pacific Ocean. The islands are one of the last regions on Earth to be colonized by humans, having been reached only around 400-500 CE. Prior to this, the islands were uninhabited. Europeans, represented by Captain James Cook, reached the island on 18 January 1778.
