After my epic climb up the mountain, I pulled out the camera equipment to record the strange and beautiful landscape. It's hard to believe I'm on the same island. It's more like being on the Moon.
On the extreme right edge in the far background you can begin to see the sloop of Moana Kea on the big island.
This panorama is facing north into Haleakala valley. According to the pamphlet the volcano crater has long since eroded away. What we now see is a valley dug into what used to be the top.
It really does look like the moon up there. I was up there just last month - really cool.
