Maui is a [volcanic doublet]?, built from two volcanos that were originally separate but which now overlap. The older volcano, [Mauna Kahalawai]?, has been so completely eroded that it is no longer considered a volcano except by geologists. It common parlance it is called the West Maui Mountains. The newer volcano, Haleakala?, rises above 10,000 feet and dominates south-eastern Maui.
