"Mauna Kea"
Mauna Kea is an inactive Volcano, but is the state of Hawaii’s tallest peak. It reaches 4207m above sea level, but its base to peak height is 10,200m - much of it below sea level. Its base to peak height is unsurpassed. Mt. Everest by comparison has a base to peak height of 4650m (8848m above sea level).
This image was taken at sunset from the peak of Mauna Kea, after acclimatisation... at 2900m . Although the image suggests otherwise, the conditions for photography were difficult with the inspired oxygen 40% less than at sea level, subzero temperatures and winds of up to 70km/h.
Nevertheless we were blessed with a simultaneous sunset and a moonrise with a 99% full moon. This resulted in different light sources from opposite directions which I attempted to capture with this 11 image panorama.
There are some compression artifacts present, as the original image is over 15000 pixels wide.
