White Island Vulcano, Bay of Plenty, North NZ




“Housten, we´ve got a problem… “ that’s what you are thinking while walking on the only active marine volcano of NZ. Dressed with an helmet and a gas mask you walk over the moon landscape, smoking things, lots of pschhhhhhh and psssssssssss , sulphuric gasses + bubbles with it’s yellow coloured crystals and it stiiiiiiinks like hell.




When you reach the crater you can see the bubbling lake in it. Nasty green, sometimes dark grey.










They once had a sulphur mine on it, but of the high wastage of workers ( unfortunately they all died ) they closed it. There are still some silhouettes of buildings and machines on it.
The rough sea makes it hard to eat the free lunch on board. :)
