Boiling Mud, Hot Rocks and Geysers

Memories from New Zealand #2: Rotorua, North Island

New Zealand lies within the Pacific ring of fire and is in an active volcanic area.

hot springs within a wonderful green belt


hot rocks with sulphur crystals


cool stream at the side of hot rocks

  2. I agree, Paul. All the boiling mud, hot springs, sulphurous aroma, and shooting geysers.
