Maunakea, also written as Mauna Kea, is a dormant volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii and stands as the highest point in the state at 13,803 feet (4,207 meters) above sea level. The mountain holds profound cultural significance for Native Hawaiians, who consider it a sacred place.
In modern times, Maunakea has become internationally renowned as one of the world's premier sites for astronomical observation. The summit area hosts several major astronomical observatories that take advantage of the mountain's high altitude, clear skies, and stable atmospheric conditions. The mountain's visitor information station, located at 9,200 feet (2,800 meters), serves as an educational center where visitors can learn about both the scientific importance of the mountain and its rich cultural heritage.
The unique ecosystem of Maunakea features rare endemic species and a remarkable environment where snow can be found in winter despite Hawaii's tropical location.
