Don't put off that island vacation — Oahu is dissolving
12/28/2012Book 'em, Danno. Your plane tickets to Honolulu, that is. If you want to enjoy the impressive landscape of the 50th state, you'd better get a move on because scientists have discovered that Oahu is slowly dissolving. OK, verrrrrrrrry slowly. So slowly that it's actually growing at the same time. Confused? Think of it as middle-age weight redistribution. Geologic uplift is actually raising Oahu's overall elevation, but groundwater is eating away at the island's beautiful mountains. So make some reservations. The good news is you can probably book a super saver fare: This whole thing could take 1.5 million years. [Source]
