Mauna Kea

Original - View of Mauna Kea from the Mauna Loa Observatory on its neighbor, Mauna Loa. Kea is a massive dormant shield volcano on the island of Hawaii. At full resolution, one can see the Mauna Kea Observatory, one of the most important astronomical facilities in the world, at its summit. The picture illustrates several key qualities that make it such a fantastic spot: 1. Height 2. Position above vapor cloud/cloud cover (on either side) 3. Beautifully clear, pollutant-free skies!
Reason
Good ev, high quality, I think it is a very good pic of a prominent feature...
