Astronauts Train in Hawaii
If you’re a fan of anything related to NASA or Outer Space, then this will strongly interest you. Astronauts choose the Big Island in Hawaii to prepare for moon landings on Hawaii’s moonscape. The location is perfect due to the varying weather on both the west and east sides of the island.
The two volcanos of the Big Island, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, split the island in two, allowing the island to experience different climates. The enormous mountains provide a hot and dry desert-like climate of the west, while the climate on the east is like a moist wilderness with waterways and cascades.
