Mauna Kea Summit Tour with Hawaii Forest and Trail
Watch the Hawaii Sunset from the summit of 13,796-foot Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. The summit provides breathtaking views of the Big Island including neighboring Mauna Loa and Hualalai and Mauna Kea’s world-class array of telescopes. After sunset we stopped at the 9,000 feet (2,743 m) above sea level and set up our own telescope to do some stargazing. Our Hawaii Forest and Trail Tour Guide told us amazing stories of the observable universe with a personal and educational look at the night sky.

Having been born from 5 major volcanoes, this unusually large island is bigger than all the islands, islets, and atolls of the Hawaiian island chain combined. Named after the legendary Polynesian navigator Hawaiiloa, this island is by far so unique that it's definitely out of this world! Here's my list of must-see locations!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Haleakalā (; Hawaiian: [ˈhɐlɛˈjɐkəˈlaː]), or the East Maui Volcano, is a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. The western 25% of the island is formed by another volcano, Mauna Kahalawai, also referred to as the West Maui Mountains.
The tallest peak of Haleakalā (house of the sun), at 10,023 feet (3,055 m), is Puʻu ʻUlaʻula (Red Hill). From the summit one looks down into a massive depression some 11.25 km (7 mi) across, 3.2 km (2 mi) wide, and nearly 800 m (2,600 ft) deep. The surrounding walls are steep and the interior mostly barren-looking with a scattering of volcanic cones.
