Hot Water Beach to Rāpatu bay, Lake Tarawera, Rotorua
Log: headed east from Te Rātā bay along the coast to Rāpatu bay, hopped out and hiked the short Isthmus Track over the brow of the hill to Lake Rotomahana (couldn't bring the kayak unfortunately). Had lunch on the floating pontoon on the lake, then hiked and paddled back to the campsite.
Highlight: Lunch on Lake Rotomahana, bringing me to five lakes I've floated on in total on this trip!
Rating: 8/10 including the little hike.

Pink and White Terraces of New Zealand
The cascading geothermal pink and white terraces of Aotearoa New Zealand were often referred to internationally and within New Zealand as the eighth wonder of the world. They were a famous tourist attraction in the 19th century until the terraces were destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera on 10 June 1886. The terraces were regarded by Māori as a taonga (a treasure).
Located on the shores of Lake Rotomahana, 20 kilometres (12.4 mi) southeast of Rotorua on the North Island, the pink and white terraces were formed by silica-rich waters that flowed from boiling geysers, tumbling down the hillside, creating crystallised terraces, bathing pools, and natural staircases that were estimated to be over 1,000 years old.

Heute habe ich eine ganze Menge über Neuseelands vulkanische Aktivitäten gelernt und auch eine ganze Menge heißer Quellen und kleiner Geysire gesehen.
Zu Beginn konnte ich sie mitten im öffentlichen Stadtpark von Rotorua sehen, einer schon eher touristischen Stadt, welche mit einem hohen Maorianteil in der Bevölkerung und einer Menge touristischer Angebote zu deren Kultur und den vielen Quellen und Geysiren eine Menge Menschen anzieht, mich ja schließlich auch!
Später ging es dann noch zu Fuß ins Waimangu Volcanic Valley und durch eine mir bisher komplett unbekannte Welt an den Lake Rotomahana. Überall brodelte und dampfte es auf der Wanderung, ganze Seen "kochten". Unsere Erde ist echt wundervoll vielfältig und fantastisch!
Allerdings roch es überall nach faulen Eiern, der Schwefelgeruch dominierte teilweise schon sehr. Wie gut, dass ich hier heute nicht schlafe...
Früher gab es im Lake Rotomahana übrigens berühmte weiße und pinke natürliche Terrassen im See, welche 1886 bei einem Vulkanausbruch untergingen und zuvor lange als Weltwunder galten. Sie wurden unter Wasser vor ein paar Jahren in Teilen in 50 bis 60 Metern Wassertiefe wiederentdeckt (ich habe sie also nicht sehen können:-)).

Week 2 Ekphrasis - Creative Writing Piece (Version 2) - Final Piece
Week 2 Independent Study - Alexander Turnbulls Pink and Whitie Terraces
A perspective on the Burton Brothers photos of the White Terraces at Lake Rotomahana
The Burton Brothers (1868-1886), White Terraces at Rotomahana, Black and white photograph (glass negative), Alexander Turnbull Library, https://natlib.govt.nz/records/22579308?search%5Bpath%5D=items
Second Version
She turns and moves for her own comfortability, and she grows and shrinks over generations. But from her growth she expands and creates, as we see her stretch marks appear from over time. Colonists may attack on opportunity, but do they dare trifle with her children guarding over her. A filter of black and white, fashioning the maunga as fear mixed with hope and respect. Not to be fooled or deceived by Papa’s fashion either, as her protective instincts are the same.

I then started working on the courtyard, where I wanted the terraces to seamlessly extend into a terrace-filled pool, representing lake Rotomahana, and also providing accessibility for those who may not be able to reach the higher levels. I achieved this by layering pieces of cardboard with my desired cutouts to mimic the appearance of terraces going deep into the ground.

Charles Blomfield (New Zealand, 1848 - 1926), The Pink and The White Terraces, Rotomahana, New Zealand.
"The Pink and the White Terrace springs were around 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) apart. The White Terraces were at the north-east end of Lake Rotomahana and faced west to north west at the entrance to the Kaiwaka Channel. Te Tarata descended to the lake edge around 25 metres (82 ft) below. The Pink Terraces lay four fifths of the way down the lake on the western shore, facing east to south-east. The pink appearance over the mid and upper basins (near the colour of a rainbow trout) was due to antimony and arsenic sulfides, although the Pink Terraces also contained gold in ore-grade concentrations."

🇳🇿🌋🎒 The #rotomahana lake near the mountain #tarawera 👇🏻👇🏾Article👇🏼👇 http://onaessayedeleperdre.com/rotomahana-lake/ ➡️ Located in the center of Northern Island, the lake Rotomahana has an area of 8km² with a maximum depth of 112.4m. It is located about twenty kilometers from Rotorua, at the foot of the volcano Tarawera. The geography of the lake was strongly altered during a strong eruption of the Tarawera in 1886. The volcano, as well as the lake is located in the caldera of Okataina https://www.instagram.com/p/BsNTpCTgZVo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5glgjcn2zkeq

New Zealand's Long-Lost Pink and White Terraces May Have Been Found
The location of a long-lost natural wonder in New Zealand has been identified, thanks to an accidentally found diary of a 19th century geographer.
The so-called Pink and White Terraces on the shores of Lake Rotomahana on New Zealand's North Island used to attract scores of adventurous tourists in the late 19th century. The massive deposits of silica sediment created by upwelling geothermal hot springs were as large as a city block and as tall as an 8-story building. Yet in 1886, within a single night, a massive eruption of a nearby volcano transformed the landscape around the lake beyond recognition and erased the natural wonder from the Earth's surface.
An independent researcher now claims he knows exactly where the terraces lie. The mystery was solved using a field diary that belonged to the German geographer Ferdinand von Hochstetter, which no one knew about until 2011. Read more.
