Haleakalā, Shield volcano in Maui, United States.
The Haleakala volcano rises 3,055 meters above sea level, forming a substantial portion of Maui's eastern region with an 18-kilometer-wide depression at its summit.
The most recent volcanic activity at Haleakala occurred between 1480 and 1600, leaving geological evidence of lava flows across the eastern slopes.
Native Hawaiians named the mountain Haleakala, meaning House of the Sun, as their traditions tell of the demigod Maui capturing the sun from this location.
The national park entrance requires a fee, and visitors should arrive two hours before sunrise to secure parking and viewing spots at the summit.
The Haleakala silversword plant grows exclusively on this mountain's upper slopes, surviving harsh conditions between 2,100 and 3,000 meters elevation.
