Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve

This is a set of geysers, hot pools, and hot mud bogs displayed by the native Maori people.

A long view of the Pohuto Geyser, with Paurenga Stream in the foreground. The majority of the steam comes from a single geyser that constantly erupts with a stream of hot water. It throws that stream about eight feet into the air.
Nganiukaiakoko (Leaping Frog) Mud Pools. It looked rather inviting though if you weren't cooked instantly, you would sink to the bottom like it was quicksand.
Angie takes a snap of a geyser that erupts every 5 minutes.
Colors on the rocks are caused by various minerals deposited there.
