A wide view of a vivid green geothermal pool at Wai-O-Tapu, set within a steep mineral-lined crater. The milky emerald water is framed by sulphur-yellow edges and weathered volcanic rock, revealing the intense chemical activity that gives the pool its striking colour. Native scrub clings to the crater rim above, contrasting with the raw, exposed geology below and highlighting the dramatic forces shaping Rotorua’s geothermal landscape.
