Kakariki: the Emerald Terraces
23 February 2008
The first section of the Happy Valley is these huge terraces, one of the three fault escarpments created by the nearby eruption of Mount Taupo in 131AD. They are painted in all sorts of colours by the algae that live in the hot water that is covering the rock, ejected from the geysers, fumeroles and hot streams that run through the area. A lot of water: 20 million litres a day cross these rocks, though it looks like it is trickling into the lake.
