Description
"Mount Waialeale Sign in Kauai, Hawaii" by Catherine Sherman.
Mount Waiʻaleʻale, often spelled Waialeale in English, is a shield volcano and the second highest point on the island of Kauaʻi in the Hawaiian Islands. This is one of the rainiest spots on earth. Its name literally means "rippling water" or "overflowing water."
The mountain, at an elevation of 5,148 feet (1,569 m), averages more than 452 inches (11,500 mm) of rain a year since 1912, with a record 683 inches (17,300 mm) in 1982; its summit is one of the rainiest spots on earth.
Kauaʻi, or Kauai, is geologically the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands.
