Description

The last light of the sun lingers over the sea and Hualālai Volcano on the Big Island, in Hawai'i. This is a view you can only see after a rough, incredibly steep drive to nearly the top of Mauna Kea and after a mile hike to an area you can view the, still active volcano, Hualālai.
Hualālai is the westernmost, third-youngest and the third-most active of the five volcanoes that form the island of Hawaiʻi, following Kīlauea and the much larger Mauna Loa. Its peak stands 8,271 feet (2,521 m) above sea level. Hualālai is estimated to have risen above sea level about 300,000 years ago. Despite maintaining a very low level of activity since its last eruption in 1801, and being unusually inactive for the last 2,000 years, Hualālai is still considered active, and is expected to erupt again some time within the next century. The volcano is also important ecologically, is home to many rare species and several nature reserves near the summit.
