A collection of shots of 13,796 foot high Mauna Kea, Hawaii. They're currently forecasting a 12" snow fall with 100 mile an hour winds.These shots were taken at various times over the past 15 years.
North face of Mauna Kea taken from the Kohala mountains across the Waimea Valley.
Mauna Kea Observatories looking north toward Maui. Haleakala sticking out just above the clouds between the first & second structures from the left.
Sun setting through top of cloud layer at about 8,000 Elevation
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii's favorite son, Ellison Onizuka, was one of the astronauts lost in the Challenger catastrophe. His brother Claude (Right) carries on Ellison's memory through a number of programs including a Science Week in the Hawaii schools for which NASA provides an astronaut. This picture was taken in 2005 when the astronaut had just returned from 188 days in the Space Station during which he had communicated with the Waimea Middle Schoolers via a video downlink. He had multiple majors in college including astronomy so coming to Hawaii and Mauna Kea was like coming to Mecca. The Observatory Manager (Left) has clearly acclimated to the freezing temperatures, the lack of oxygen, and not forgetting his sunglasses.
