Mud pool Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is part of the most amazing natural history of NZ showing that the earth is maybe not quite finished yet.

The chain of eruption that racked the fault line during a fatefull night of 1886 created an entirely new thermal valley, still geothermally active, called Waimangu.

This picture was taken in a huge and active boiling mud pool which plops away merrily, forming lovely concentric paterns.

Very impressive.

Thanks for looking.

BRAVO!! You caught the action perfectly LuDivine. Great capture.

Where abouts was this photo taken? Where's Waimangu? We weren't prepared to pay $50 a head to visit Whakarewarewa when we were there 2 weeks ago. We think Rotorua is getting to be too expensive now...

WOW... awesome capture of the mud pool... I can just hear it bubbling away, and smell the very distinctive smell...

it's great with the steam rising... gives a good feeling of the cool air and the warmth of the pools.
Thanks
