A composite image of the southern flanks of Haleakala volcano extending down to Huakini Bay, south Maui. This image is made up of eight separate photos "stitched" together to form a single image that could only have been shot as a single photo using a wide-angle lens (which would have imposed a good deal of distortion). The summit of Haleakala volcano can be seen at the far right of the photo, extending above the bank of clouds obscuring the lower part of the slope.

Typical view of the arid southern flanks of Haleakala volcano. This coastal desert extends from Ulupalakulu eastward to just west of the village of Kaupo (where the east Maui rain forest begins). The neighbor island of Kaho'olawe is visible on the horizon.
