Photo Story


The first picture is of the sunset I took at a beach club in Kona. Since, the time in Kona is three hours behind the time in Fremont, the sunset happened only a couple of hours after landing at Kona. 


The second picture represents a sacred historical park that I visited with my family the next day. This shows an ancient game that resembles a board game. 


The third picture is of me going to South Point later on that day. This is a popular site, where there is a site for jumping off a cliff for a forty-foot dive into the Pacific Ocean. I did not do that, since I just went snorkeling earlier, and I did not bring a spare pair of swimming trunks, and plus, the cliff was pretty rocky, and I could not afford to get injured during this trip. 


This fourth picture is of me at the top of Kilauea, one of the five main volcanoes in the Big Island. It is close to Hilo, and its summit is at an elevation of 4,091 feet. It is an active volcano, but luckily it was not expected to erupt at that time, though there was dried up lava from an earlier eruption from this volcano nearby that was another tourist attraction. 


This fifth picture is of me on the Mauna Kea, which is a dormant shield volcano, and it has an observatory. Its summit is the highest point in the state of Hawaii, and it is the tallest mountain in the world when it also includes its underwater base, which extends to around 20,000 feet below sea level, thus making its overall height of it 33,000 feet, thus making it the tallest mountain in the world. However, since its summit is only at 13,796 feet, Mount Everest surpasses it. The mountain in the distance is the Mauna Loa, which is the largest mountain in the world, but its summit is 150 feet lower than that of the Mauna Kea. it extends up to 16,000 feet below sea level, so it would not be taller than Mauna Kea either way. This is also another shield volcano, but it is an active one.
