It is COLD on top of those volcanoes!........................
And here in Minneapolis-St Paul today, it’s actually 46 degrees!
It won’t last - but I’ll take it!
The Big Island of Hawaii’s two dormant volcanoes are both over 13000’ in elevation.
I was there in April 2019. We drove up to where the visitors center is in our Mustang convertible rental car. The road was closed above 7000’ because there was ice on the road.
The week after it was back open again, but they were only allowing four wheel drive vehicles to go to the top.
The week we were there only had one day where you could actually see the top where all the observatories are.
