Tiny Lake Waiau on Hawaii's Big Island is one of the highest elevated lakes on the planet. Located at 13,020 feet above sea level, near the summit of Mauna Kea volcano (13,796 feet), Lake Waiau lies in the crater of Pu'u Waiau cinder cone in the Mauna Kea Forest Reserve (more here)

So you can get an idea of the distance Mauna loa above

Lake Waiau below- the namesake of the cinder cone (swirling water of a current)

Briefly.. 

"Hawaiian mythology associates four goddesses, described as "maidens with white mantles", with the snow covered mountains of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.

 While the lake is only 10 to, at the deepest, maybe 15 to 20 feet deep, it was known as The Bottemless Lake and was thought to be one of several entrances to the Underworld on the Big Island".

Hmm, tastes pretty good..wonder what this big puddle tastes like?

Whoops!

Ps. 98:7,8

Let the sea resound, and everything in it,

the world, and all who live in it. Let the rivers clap their hands,

let the mountains sing together for joy;
