          another U.S. state  (Alaska being the other). It is the southernmost part of the United States

          In addition to possessing the southernmost point in the United States, it is the only state that lies completely
          in the tropics. One of two states outside the contiguous United States, it is the only state without territory on
          the mainland of any continent. It is also the only state that continues to grow in area because of active lava
          flows, most notably from Kilauea. Because it has more endangered species per square mile than anywhere
          else, Hawai'i is considered the endangered species capital of the world.
