Mauna Kea
2 yearsChristmas Eve, 13,800 feet above sea level. The crust of snow, clinging to black lava rock, is painted with the fading warmth of a Hawaiian sun. The sleepy white domes of telescopes gaze off into the horizon. The cloud level rests like a blanket, covering the world of shaking palm trees and ripe coconuts, spinner dolphins, and singing humpbacks that thrive thousands of feet below.
