The
Hawaiian Islands (
Hawaiian:
Mokupuni o Hawai‘i) are an
archipelago of eight major
islands, several
atolls, numerous smaller
islets, and undersea
seamounts in the North
Pacific Ocean, extending some 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) from the
island of Hawaiʻi in the south to northernmost
Kure Atoll. Formerly the group was known to Europeans and Americans as the "
Sandwich Islands", a name chosen by
James Cook in honor of the then First Lord of the Admiralty
John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. The contemporary name is derived from the name of the main island, Hawaii Island.
