These feature that was formed by hotspot volcanism is The Big Island of Hawaii. The Hawaiian Islands are actually found at the tip of several volcanoes that has been formed by a series of volcanic eruptions. Today, the Big Island sits on the hotspot, and contains the only active volcanoes of the group of islands.
