Sunsets and scenics of Interior Alaska ~ Trumpeter Swans/Tundra Swans ~ Pond and Lake Reflections ~ Boreal and Permafrost Forests~ Poetry and Quotes Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved “From groves of spice, / O’er fields of rice, / Athwart the lotus-stream, / I bring for you, / Aglint with dew / A little lovely dream. Sweet, shut your eyes, / The wild fire-fiies / Dance through the fairy neem; / From the poppy-bole / For you I stole / A little lovely dream. Dear eyes, / good-night, / In golden light / The stars around you gleam; / On you I press / With soft caress / A little lovely dream.” ~ Poetry by Sarojini Naidu Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 10 September 2007 19:56:47 / Tv Shutter Speed 1/640 Av Aperture Value 29.0 ISO 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

View of Mauna Kahalewai, the West Maui mountains from Ulupalakua. / I took this shot from the passenger window of a moving vehicle as Jacob and I were driving to Kana’io. The West Maui Mountains or West Maui Volcano, known to the Hawaiians as Mauna Kahalawai and Hale Mahina form a much eroded shield volcano that constitutes the western one-quarter of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. The port of Lāhainā lies on the southwestern slope. / The wildlife sanctuaries and wetlands of Mauna Kahalewai are very beautiful. O ‘Iao Valley is covered in dense rainforest and is one of the wettest rainiest spots on earth. This area of the island receives an average of over 400 inches of rain each year The Hawaiian name for the mountains is “Kahalewai”, meaning House of Water. Another name is Hale Mahina meaning House of the Moon. It is believed that these mountains are named for the Goddess Hina of the Moon. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Mauna Kahalewai “The East Maui mountains ancient name is Aheleakala [A-hele-a-ka-la]. The Western name is Haleakala means House of the Sun, named for the Sun God, La, and quite possibly named after the demi-god Maui-akalana, who slowed down the sun. More can be read about Maui in the ancient Hawaiian genealogical chant, Kumulipo Iao Valley is the most famous valley of this mountain range. The West Maui mountains are the second wettest spot in the world at 400 inches of rain per year. It is said that somewhere in Kahalewai there is a deep cavern filled with water and a passage way connected with the water cave. The West Maui Mountains or West Maui Volcano, known to the Hawaiians as Mauna Kahalewai, form a much eroded shield volcano that constitutes the western one-quarter of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. Kanaka Maoli are the Polynesian peoples of the Hawaiian Islands who trace their ancestry back to Marquesan and possibly Tahitian settlers (starting circa AD 400), precontact 1778. A shield volcano is a large volcano with shallowly-sloping sides. / The high point of the West Maui Volcano is Pu’u Kukui at 5,788 feet. The island of Maui is one of a chain of volcanoes and ancient underwater seamounts stretching nearly to the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. The Hawaiian Islands and Emperor Seamounts were all formed by a hot spot in the earth’s mantle erupting onto the ocean floor and building massive shield volcanoes that would sometimes break the surface. Maui is the second youngest island in the Hawaiian Islands and consists of two volcanoes in the chain It is thought that West Maui Volcano was born 2 million years ago. It is now extinct and has begun the slow process of subsiding and eroding back into the sea. Haleakala is about a million years younger than its neighbor and is still considered active having erupted at least 10 times in the last 1000 years. However, it has entered the last phase of its life as a growing mountain, a last gasp rejuvenated phase that all Hawaiian volcanoes enter before they go extinct forever. Approximately 400,000 years ago Maui was much larger than it is today. Usually referred to as Maui Nui (“Big Maui”) it was made up of present day Maui, Moloka’i, Lana’i, and Kaho’olawe and was larger than the present day big island of Hawai’i. The subsiding of the island led to the separation of Moloka’i and Lana’i from Maui and Kaho’olawe about 300,000 years ago. About 150,000 years ago Lana’i and Moloka’i separated as did Kaho’olawe and Maui. It is thought that only 15,000 years remain before West Maui and East Maui (Haleakala) are split into two islands.
