Getting up three hours before sunrise for an hour drive to the summit of Haleakala volcano to watch the drama unfold as the sun burst through the clouds was so worth the effort.

This was our second trip to Maui’s Haleakala National Park, so we were prepared for the 30-40 degree temperature difference from our hotel to the top of the volcano . These shots were taken four minutes apart from the same spot with a camera angle change of about 30 degrees to the northeast on the one below.

Images were captured last month on January 6, 2022.
