Adventures at Rotorua



It takes 1 hour fifteen minutes to travel from Taupo to Rotorua in New Zealand.

Rotorua is a town in the volcanic thermal land area. There is steam coming out from many places in the region.

Yin Ping and Ho Keung visited Wai-O-Tapu, a thermal wonderland with bubbling mud pools, craters, terraces, cliffs and lakes.
Mud shoots up at times when bubbles burst. Taking a Mud bath here can kill!

The above photo shows Champagne Pool. The liquid really looks like champagne, but we cannot drink it!




The above photo shows Inferno Crater




The above is Bird Nest Crater


Sulphur Cave is on the right.




A bigger crater with rising steam





Devil’s Bath. No one dares to take a bath here.

You have made the photos more lively by adding your comments.

We can feel the power of nature, understand how little we are and how humble should we be.
