Hanakauhi - a photo on Flickriver

Hanakauhi

            Looking east across the summit valley basin of Haleakalā, numerous cinder cones surrounded by fields of ash and ‘a’ā lava flows are visible.  Minerals and metal oxides from volcanic eruptions, weathering, and erosion, color this alpine aeolian desert.  This topography was formed after a rejuvenation phase beginning only 100,000 years ago and erupting as recently as 500 years ago.  The Haleakalā Wilderness Area is one of the most memorable and special places I’ve ever hiked and camped.  With a dark night sky and desolate, other-worldly landscape with uniquely adapted endemic plants and wildlife, it is an exceptional place for contemplative solitude after a strenuous day of backpacking.  Haleakalā is also known as one of the quietest places on earth, measured in negative decibels.  In this image taken from the visitor’s center on the western rim, the cinder cones, beginning in the foreground, are known as Ka Lu’u o ka ‘Ō’ō, Kama’oli’i, Pu’u o Māui, Ka moa a Pele, Halāli’i, Pu’u Naue, and Pu’u Māmane.  Rising in the distance is Hanakauhi Peak, 8,907’ above sea level.
