archipelago, 137 volcanic islands spanning 1,500 miles
(2,400 km) that are physiographically and
ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of
Oceania.[9] The state's ocean coastline is
consequently the fourth-longest in the U.S., at about
750 miles (1,210 km).[d] The eight main islands, from
northwest to southeast, are Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu,
Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui, and Hawaiʻi—the
last of these, after which the state is named, is often
called the "Big Island" or "Hawaii Island" to avoid
confusion with the state or archipelago. The
uninhabited Northwestern Hawaiian Islands make up
most of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National
Monument, the United States' largest protected area
and the fourth-largest in the world.
