Latitude and longitude of Mauna Kea
Satellite map of Mauna Kea
Mauna Kea (/ˌmɔːnə ˈkeɪ.ə/ or /ˌmaʊnə ˈkeɪ.ə/; Hawaiian: [ˈmɔunə ˈkɛjə]) (traditional Hawaiian name: Mauna a Wākea) is a dormant volcano on the island of Hawaii. Standing 4,205 m (13,796 ft) above sea level, its peak is the highest point in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Further, because the Hawaiian Islands slope so deep into the sea, Mauna Kea is exceptionally prominent, with a dry prominence calculated at 9,330 m (30,610 ft). It is cupped by the deep Hawaiian Trough, which has led some authorities to call it the tallest (as opposed to highest) mountain in the world, as measured from base to peak. Base remains loosely defined, which has resulted in numbers ranging from 9,966 m (32,696 ft) (roughly to the deepest point on the Hawaiian Trough) to 17,205 m (56,447 ft) (to the root of the mountain deep underground). On each of these, other mountains stake rivaling claims, for example, Mount Lamlam claiming higher climb from base (11,528 m (37,820 ft), starting from Challenger Deep), and all of the Himalayan Mountains claiming tremendously deep roots.
