Mauna Kea Summit

We headed up to the Summit of Mauna Kea last night for a guaranteed sunset above the clouds!




This pic overlooks Mauna Loa, arguable the tallest mountain in the world when measured from the seabed.

Check out the awesome reflection of the volcano on the clouds!




Of course this is a 1 2 3 pic Lizzie.



4200 Metres high, I did feel slightly light headed, especially after I decided to see how quickly I could sprint at that height, it took me a unbelievable amount of time to get my breath back!


Here's the island of Maui visible in the distance.



After the sunset we headed to the visitors centre for some stargazing, got an amazing look at Saturn through a fancy scope Dad!
