Mauna Kea (ˌmɔːnə ˈkeɪ.ə or ˌmaʊnə ˈkeɪ.ə in English, ˈmounə ˈkɛjə in Hawaiian) is an inactive volcano in the U.S. state of Hawaii, one of five volcanoes which together form the island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea, according to some etymologists is a contraction of Mauna-o-Wakea, meaning in English, "Mountain of the deity Wakea." The modern form, "Mauna Kea," means "white mountain" in the Hawaiian language, a reference to its summit being regularly covered by snow in winter.
