About this piece

The Big Island keeps volcanic time, an island still growing at Kilauea's pleasure, and this clock runs the human schedule over it: the etched face carrying the two great mountains, the manta-dive coast, and enough climate zones for every kind of afternoon.

It suits a coffee-country kitchen or anywhere that brews Kona and means it.

The island's full depths are carved on the Big Island 3D chart.
