  • 12. Mauna Kea State Recreation Area Hilo
    Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano on the island of Hawaii. Its peak is 4,207 m above sea level, making it the highest point in the state of Hawaii. Most of the mountain is under water; when measured from its oceanic base, Mauna Kea is over 10,000 m tall. Mauna Kea is about a million years old, and has thus passed the most active shield stage of life hundreds of thousands of years ago. In its current post-shield state, its lava is more viscous, resulting in a steeper profile. Late volcanism has also given it a much rougher appearance than its neighboring volcanoes; contributing factors include the construction of cinder cones, the decentralization of its rift zones, the glaciation on its peak, and the weathering effects of the prevailing trade winds. Mauna Kea last erupted 6,000 to 4,000 years...
