Located inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. They are on solid lava rock which dates to AD 1200-1450 and were first discovered by missionaries in 1823. They were carved into the lava pre-contact from white explorers (Capt. James Cook 1779).
In January 1778, Cook and his crew became the first Europeans to visit the Hawaiian islands. They went on to explore the west coast of North America, where Cook tried and failed to pass the Bering Strait in his search for a northern passage between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The crew returned to Hawaii, landing at Kealakekua Bay on 17 January 1779.
