Mauna Kahalawai means “holding house of water” which relates to the huge amount of annual rainfall in the mountain tops. The mountains are made from a highly eroded extinct shield volcano; approximately 1.7 million years old. For the whole story with all images, see Minolta XG-9 to Maui | a 7 Image Story.
