Mahalo to Tara Hutchinson for sharing this neat crater shot with us for Aloha Friday Photos.
Tara took this photograph on Maui on the Haleakala volcanic crater that stands over 9,500 ft above sea degree. (The summit reaches 10,023 ft above sea degree.) At this elevation, the temperatures are considerably cooler than down on the seashore ranges. Per Haleakala National Park’s website, there’s often at the very least a 20-degree (F) distinction.
The panorama on the summit is kind of a distinction to the plush, tropical climates of Maui. (See our article comparing the two sides of Haleakala.) As you’ll be able to see from Tara’s photograph, this summit crater seems to be like a desert. Isn’t it fascinating, although? The colours of the volcanic formations, sands and soils together with the sparse dots of inexperienced shrubs and vegetation make it an uncommon and interesting panorama to see!
We now have loved a number of visits to the summit of Haleakala. Ideally, we suggest visiting to experience the spectacular sunrise.
Comfortable Aloha Friday!
