Description
Silica terraces at Waiotapu, New Zealand.
Waiotapu is located in the heart of the Taupo Volcanic Zone in the North Island of New Zealand. Geothermal features such as hot springs, geysers and mud pools abound. Terraces are built from silica precipitating out of solution of the overflow of hot springs. The colours are from thermophilic bacteria that thrive in the hot, acidic waters.
