EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the rare beauty of a silversword plant, Argyroxiphium sandwicense macrocephalum, at the summit of Haleakala in Haleakala National Park. Located on Maui's dormant volcano in Hawaii, this exotic species is endangered and found nowhere else in the world. The image showcases the silversword plant's spiked silver leaves against a backdrop of arid cinder cones and volcanic sands. Standing tall amidst an otherworldly landscape, it symbolizes resilience and adaptability to harsh conditions. As sunlight bathes the scene during daytime, the contrast between the cold mountain air and warm tropical climate creates a unique microclimate that allows these plants to thrive. Their succulent nature enables them to tolerate droughts while their silver color reflects excess heat. Hikers and adventure seekers from around the globe flock to this paradise destination for a chance to witness such extraordinary flora firsthand. The trail leading up to Ka Ka Kalahaku overlook offers panoramic views of both land and sea, making it an unforgettable experience for families seeking outdoor adventures or botanical enthusiasts exploring horticulture wonders. David Fleetham's expert photography skills have captured not only a stunning natural scene but also an important reminder of our responsibility to protect endangered species like these silverswords. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Haleakala National Park's significance as one of America's protected treasures within Oceania.
