The Quietest Place on Earth

Wednesday, May 13 at 7 pm on KPJK TV in the South Bay. The Hawaiian Islands are the most remote major island group on earth. On the second-largest island of Maui, the Haleakala volcano rises 10,000 feet – nearly two miles – into the sky. And the massive crater located at its summit carries the unique distinction of "The Quietest Place on Earth." For some, the exquisite stillness of this stark volcanic landscape can mimic a religious experience while for others it simply inspires a deeper awareness of humans' place in nature. The Quietest Place on Earth explores Maui's geological and spiritual birthplace.
