✔️Mauna Kea is one of Big Island volcano and unlike Kilauea, it is dormant.
✔️Its summit sits at 4,207m, but Mauna Kea is actually the tallest mountain on Earth being 10,000m, majority of the mountain is actually submerged underwater.
✔️Driving to the top is not for the faint hearted!
✔️We stopped for one hour at the visitor centre at 2,500m to accustumed ourselves to the altitude and reduce risk of altitude sickness.
✔️The last few kilometres to the top requires a good low range 4WD and some patience.
✔️At the top 13 telescopes have been placed funded by a number of countries as it's one of the best environment for astronomical observation.
✔️ The sunset from up there was spectacular!
