Cinder Cones
Volcanic cinder cones and ‘a’ā flow from a rejuvenation phase beginning only 100,000 years ago cover the basin floor of Haleakalā. The three dominant foreground cones are Pu’u o Māui, Pu’u o Pele, and Kama’ali’i. If not for the blue sky, this could be a Martian landscape. In the distance, beyond the southern rim of Haleakalā and across the ‘Alenuihāhā Channel, are the shield volcanoes Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the neighboring Big Island of Hawaii.
