A Stunning Start to Winter on Hawaiʻi Island

The first snow of the season has settled on Mauna Kea, and with it comes one of the most striking contrasts anywhere in the Pacific. While much of the world imagines Hawaiʻi as endless sunshine and warm ocean air, the summit of Mauna Kea regularly reminds us that the islands hold a far greater range of climates than many realize.
