(3/3) Ōrākei Kōrako. Rautapu Cave is 1 of 2 found in thermal areas; a clear pool fills the bottom (📷1). Kohua Poharu mud pools formed when chemicals decomposed rock into clay, boiled from below (📷3). Waiariki | Soda Fountain was dormant for 17 yrs, until 1984 (📷3). Kurapae Geyser is unpredictable so out-of-bounds—we saw it erupt twice from visitor centre (📷4); a rare “geyser egg” was found there.
