Waimangu Volcanic Valley
Rotarua , New Zealand
Waimangu Valley, being the youngest geothermal site in the world, shows off the beauty left behind after a volcanic eruption. Thirty years after a volcanic explosion, plant life returned in abundance and the hot pools and springs display ongoing geothermal activity.
 
In the Maori language Waimangu means "black water". The area was once the location of the most powerful geyser in the world; spewing black mud 460 metres (1,500 ft) into the air. While the geyser became extinct in 1904, this beautiful valley still bears the name Waimangu. 
 
What a majestic place that I have had the fortune to visit. A truly spectactular sight.
