Photo: Orakei Korako Mud Pools Taupo New Zealand
Boiling mud pools decorate the geothermal landscape at Orakei Korako near Taupo on the North Island of New Zealand.
When visiting Orakei Korako near Taupo, New Zealand, the landscape is made up of a variety of geothermal wonders, some being geysers, silica terraces and fascinating mud pools. Hours can be spent watching the mud pools as they form interesting shapes while unique sounds explode through the boiling clay.
The fluids in the mud pools are created from rocks which have decayed and form clay and are then heated by the energy underground. Spectacular shapes and formations are seen in different spots and each one varies as the mud pools are changing continuously.
