There are "other islands" very much connected to the "Hawaiian Islands". They are referred to as the "Northwestern Hawaiian Islands". They stretch for well over 1,000 miles toward the north Pacific Ocean beyond Kauai and Niihau. You have Nihoa about 130 miles beyond Niihau and then you have Necker island about 180 miles beyond Nihoa Island. All of the Hawaiian Islands were formed by many volcanic eruptions. The eruptions continue today on the "big island" of Hawaii.

The "Hawaiian" names for some of the "Northwestern Hawaiian Islands" are listed below.

Necker Island: Mokumanamana French Frigate Shoals: Mokupapapa Gardner Pinnacles: Puhahonu Maro Reef: Nalukakala Laysan Island: Kauo Lisianski Island: Papaapoho Pearl and Hermes Atoll: Holoikauaua Midway Atoll: Pihemanu Kure Atoll: Kanemilohai

The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands are all within a federal wildlife refuge established in 1909 to protect the large colonies of seabirds and a variety of marine organisms, including sea turtles and the critically endangered Hawaiian monk seal.
