Mauna Kea


Mauna Kea, Hawaii's tallest volcano is currently snow capped.  Mauna Kea which means white mountain in Hawaiian is a dormant volcano on the Island of Hawaii.  Famous for its telescopes, Mauna Kea is ideal for astronomical observations due to the elevation and atmospheric conditions.  Last year  around this time a snow storm blanketed the mountain with fresh snow.
