I'm not sure where Mauna Kea goes... into the clouds, I guess. But when it appears it is impressive and ghostly. I guess what comes to mind is that Mauna Kea can kill you if it wants to. Looking at a normal "mountain" doesn't have the same effect. I always sit on the left hand side of the plane so I can see Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. I agree. Mauna Loa doesn't loom as large, I guess because it is off in the distance. Seems bigger from Ka'u!
