Description

I'm looking downwards from the 9,000 ft elevation level of Mauna Kea and into an old crater below. Farther across is the lower part of Mauna Loa, a still active volcano. The upper section of Mauna Loa is cover with clouds. The air is a little thin where I'm at. As you go further up in elevation, you need to adjust your movements and breathing. Feeling a little wooooozy here as I had moved a little to fast climbing up the hill I'm standing on. Aloha and thank you for viewing.

Cool Errol! I love the Big Island and never made it up Mauna Kea so this is a real treat. Mauna Loa is an awsome site, especially Volcanoes Natl. Park and the Caldera.
