5 At an elevation of 1,020 feet above sea level, this is the highest lake in the Pacific region. To say that Lake Waiau was a place of great significance to the Ancient Hawaiians and to Hawaiians today is an understatement; Lake Waiau is considered part of Wao Akua, or the realm of the gods. Navigators and stargazers alike would venture to watch the moon and other celestial bodies travel across the night sky by observing their reflections in the lake (and other pools of water) throughout the night. Lake Waiau is believed to have formed the last time that Mauna Kea was glaciated, known as the Pleistocene period, a time where the most ice ages occurred. The lake itself is not very deep, with depth typically an indication of precipitation for not just Mauna Kea, but the Hawaiian islands as a whole. Rainfall is not common on the summit areas, so the majority of precipitation tends to originate from snow and fog. The lake also holds personal significance to families who see it as a way of spiritual connection to the land. Some bring the umbilical cords of their children as well as the ashes of loved ones to be left at the lake. Resources: `ao`ao `elima
