Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland

This park contains a large variety of geothermal marvels. [1280x960]

Each pool has a name, but I didn't write any of them down. [1280x960]

I think this one's called Champagne Pool.

In this second picture of Champagne Pool, you can see the bubbles that give it its name.

Another bunch pools that I don't remember the names for. I do remember that you're not supposed to smoke around them, however.
