Champagne Pool Photo

Photographer’s Note

Champagne Pool is a prominent geothermal feature within the Waiotapu geothermal area in the Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand. The terrestrial hot spring is located about 30 km southeast of Rotorua and about 50 km northeast of Taupo. The name Champagne Pool is derived from the abundant efflux of carbon dioxide (CO2) similar to gas bubbles in a glass of bubbling Champagne. The hot spring was formed 900 years ago by a hydrothermal eruption, which makes it in geological terms a relatively young system. Its crater is around 65 m in diameter with a maximum depth of approximately 62 m and is filled with an estimated volume of 50,000 m3 of geothermal fluid.

Hola Victor,
La parte inferior de la foto resulta muy atractiva por el contraste entre la roca y la zona naranja sumergida. Además hace de camino y le da profundidad a la imagen.
Parece un lugar muy bonito.
Un abrazo,
Mirari
