Haleakala - The house of the sun
Yesturday I went up to the top of Haleakala which is widely marketed here as the world largest dormant volcano, however we met some geologists while we were hiking, and they said that it is not really dormant since it has errupted in the last 1000 years, and if it were then it probably wouldnt be the biggest in the world... so some dubious marketing going on. Nonetheless it was pretty damn big, (10000ft) and a huge area at the top. As we walked accross the bottom it really is like being on the moon apparently so much so that NASA had people train there before they went for real!
Sorry for the poor standard of photos today, but it was really cloudy... and it was an excercise in snapping when the cloud cleared.
