The house of the sun - a photo on Flickriver

            Haleakalā is a volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui.  In Hawaiian folklore, the depression at the summit of Haleakalā was home to the grandmother of the demigod Māui. Māui's grandmother helped him capture the sun and force it to slow its journey across the sky in order to lengthen the day. Hawaiians called the mountain 'the house of the sun'.  In the right background you can see two shield volcanos on the neighbouring Island of Hawai'i.  The left one is Mauna Kea 4,207.3 m (13,803 ft) above sea level, the highest point in the state of Hawaiʻi and second-highest peak of an island on Earth. Measuring from its base at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, Mauna Kea is the world's tallest mountain, with a distance from the ocean floor to the top of the mountain being 33,476 feet (10,203 m). Mauna Loa, its more massive neighbor to the right, stands at 4,169 m (13,679 ft). Mauna Loa has historically been considered the largest volcano on Earth by volume. The photo is a panorama from 3 pictures in landscape format.
