Atop Haleakalā - East Maui Volcano
Haleakalā ( / ˌ h ɑː l i ˌ ɑː k ə ˈ l ɑː / ; Hawaiian: [ˈhɐlɛˈjɐkəˈlaː] ), or the East Maui Volcano , is a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui . The western 25% of the island is formed by another volcano, Mauna Kahalawai, also referred to as the West Maui Mountains . The tallest peak of Haleakalā ("house of the sun"), at 10,023 feet (3,055 m), is Puʻu ʻUlaʻula (Red Hill). From the summit one looks down into a massive depression some 11.25 km (7 mi) across, 3.2 km (2 mi) wide, and nearly 800 m (2,600 ft) deep. The surrounding walls are steep and the interior mostly barren-looking with a scattering of volcanic cones . Thanks for stopping by. Please drop us a comment below in the comment box at the bottom.
