Liste der Hawaii-Inseln
Erscheinungsbild
Die Hawaii-Inselkette besteht aus acht großen Hauptinseln im Südosten des Archipels, im Englischen auch als Southeastern oder Windward Islands bezeichnet, denen zahlreiche „Satelliteninseln“ (engl. Offshore Islets) vorgelagert sind. Nordwestlich der Hauptinseln liegen unbewohnte Inseln und Atolle, die sogenannten Nordwestlichen Hawaii-Inseln (engl. Northwestern Hawaiʻian Islands oder Leeward Islands). Mit Ausnahme der Midwayinseln gehören alle Inseln politisch zum US-Bundesstaat Hawaii.
