Google Expeditions in Hawaii
When people hear the name “Hawaii” it conjures up images of a lush volcanic island paradise, filled with tropical life. This life includes not just the fauna and flora, but the people, both local and visiting, all of which mixes together to create the unique environment that is the Hawaiian Islands. Using Google Expeditions, we can explore the many different facets of this geographically unique location and diverse society.
