Mauna Kea Summit Ridge
The ridge near the summit, only about 10 feet lower than the summit,
was the first area on which telescopes were built on Mauna Kea. The
UH 2.2-meter telescope (center) was the first large telescope on Mauna
Kea. The Gemini northern 8-meter telescope is the largest and newest
telescope in this area (open silver dome).
