Does the mauna loa volcano have snow?

Answer 1

At 13679ft in altitude, Mauna Loa is sufficiently high to receive regular winter snowfall even in the tropics. It is also believed that the summit of Mauna Loa was glaciated like the summit of Mauna Kea during the last ice age. However, unlike Mauna kea, any evidence of former glaciation has since been covered by lavas erupted since the last ice age.

Answer 2

Yes, Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii can sometimes receive snowfall at its higher elevations due to its height of over 13,000 feet. However, it is more common for snow to accumulate on neighboring Mauna Kea, which is Hawaii's highest peak and often has snowy conditions at its summit.
