Haleakalā or the East Maui Volcano, is a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. The western 25% of the island is formed by another volcano, Mauna Kahalawai, also referred to as the West Maui Mountains.
The tallest peak of Haleakalā ("house of the sun"), at 10,023 feet (3,055 m), is Puʻu ʻUlaʻula (Red Hill). From the summit one looks down into a massive depression some 11.25 km (7 mi) across, 3.2 km (2 mi) wide, and nearly 800 m (2,600 ft) deep. The surrounding walls are steep and the interior mostly barren-looking with a scattering of volcanic cones.
Finally getting around to uploading photos from out trip to Maui back in 2006. Not sure why I only uploaded a handful initially.

Maui, Hawaii - September, 2006
One of the 55 original artworks by Sheyne Tuffery, representing the estimated number of adult Maui’s dolphins left alive. They were presented to 55 key Members of Parliament to highlight that the future of Maui’s dolphin, verging on extinction, is in their hands.
