Steaming Land


Aotearoa is often known as the Shakey Isles. It is a well deserved name as virtually the whole country in on a fault line. In our capital, Wellington, it is not unknown to have at least one earthquake a day. Nothing major, yet, but you never know!
One of the most popular tourist spots in Aotearoa is a place called Rotorua. There you can see what lies beneath the earth. Boiling water, mud and steam abound as does the rather overpowering smell of sulphur. It is a great place to visit, Mother Nature is well in command there and she wants you to know it!

San Nakji for President!

  6. Wow! Very cool! Yup, looks like Yellowstone Park.

    After living in California as a child, I remember the earthquakes quite well. We had them all the time.
