Description
Thermal activity is at the heart of much of Rotorua's tourist appeal. Geysers and bubbling mud pools, hot thermal springs and the Buried Village (Te Wairoa) so named after it was buried by the 1886 Mount Tarawera eruption are within easy reach of Rotorua.In Kuirau Park, to the west end of Rotorua, hot bubbling mud pools dot the park.Visitors can soak their feet in hot pools.
Rotorua has the nickname Sulphur City, because of the hydrogen sulphide emissions, which gives Rotorua a rotten eggs smell, as well as rotten-rua combining its legitimate name and the rotten smell prevalent.
The especially pungent smell in the central-east Te Ngae area is due to the dense sulphur deposits located next to the southern boundary of the Government Gardens, in the area known as Sulphur Point.
