Pele eventually landed on the Big Island, where she made Mauna Loa her new home. Literally meaning âLong Mountainâ in the Hawaiian language, Mauna Loa was so tall that even Peleâs sister could not send the oceanâs waves high enough on Mauna Loa to drown Peleâs fires.So Pele established her home on its slopes.auna Loaâs elevation and location made it an important spot for atmospheric and other scientific observations.
