The Hawaiian Archipelago
In this 1875 travel memoir, Isabella Bird recounts her captivating journey through the enchanting Hawaiian Islands in 1873 at the age of 41. The narrative focuses on her daring exploration, particularly her challenging treks up two of the world's tallest volcanoes located on the Big Island: Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Starting her journey on Oahu, Bird explores the bustling city of Honolulu and the verdant windward valleys before setting sail for Hawaii's Big Island. There, she is mesmerized by the ever-changing volcanic landscapes shaped by the continuous eruptions of Mauna Loa and Kilauea over the years. Driven by a quest for adventure, Bird embarks on a courageous 13-hour ascent of Mauna Kea, scaling its 14,000-foot icy summit without guides. The solitude and breathtaking views fuel her spirit. Buoyed by this accomplishment, she ventures to conquer Mauna Loa, the largest volcano on Earth. Camping along the way, she reaches the summit ridge at nearly 13,700 feet, gazing over the vast crater Mokuaweoweo.Bird's journey is marked by overcoming steep trails, high altitudes, freezing nights without proper shelter, and physical exhaustion-defying societal expectations for a supposedly delicate Victorian woman. Her poetic descriptions of Hawaii's volcanoes helped introduce their magnificence to the Western world. The allure of the landscape deeply captivated Bird, drawing her back to the islands in later years whenever she yearned for tropical adventures.

South America To-day
"As long as land is in sight, our eyes linger on the blue line of mountains, which speaks to us of the country which, in spite of the revolving screw, our hearts refuse to leave." "But let us say at once that in these countries where the blood is hot misconduct is rare. Men marry young, and the demands of a civilisation as yet untouched by decadence leaves little energy for pleasure that must be sought elsewhere than on the strait path. I will not say but what the great attraction of Paris for many South Americans is precisely the pleasure of the novelty it offers in this respect. It is sufficient for me to set down what came under my notice: happy homes and regular habits; a tranquil enjoyment of a life of virtue. The living-rooms are always grouped around a patio with its colonnade bright with trees and flowers, and here their occupants enjoy the utmost privacy with an absence of street noises." "A perfectly healthy city. No expense has been spared to satisfy the demands of a good system of municipal sanitation. Avenues planted with trees, gardens and parks laid out to ensure adequate reserves of fresh air, are available to all, and lawns exist for youthful sports. The zo繹logical and botanical gardens are models of their kind. A fine racecourse, surrounded by the green belt of foliage of the Argentine Bois de Boulogne, is known as Palermo." "We are pleased to judge them more or less lightly. Let us not forget that we in our turn are judged by them. And while we waste our time quarrelling about individuals and names, they are directing a steady effort toward taking from each country of Europe what it has of the best, in order to build up over yonder on a solid base a new community which will some day be so much the more formidable that its own economic force will perhaps have as a counterbalance the complications of a European situation that is not tending toward solution."
