The VOLCANOES AND THERMAL WONDERS of New Zealand attract visitors from all over the world. In 'the Shaky Isles', people live alongside some of the most active volcanic features around the Pacific Ring of Fire.
This book illustrates the thermal regions of New Zealand, from Tongariro and Taupo, to Rotorua and the Bay of Plenty. It also explains in a straightforward way how volcanoes, geysers, mud pools and hot lakes work.
Included are some traditions of the volcanoes, and major eruptions.
