White Island



This picture is of a sulfur river running through White Island - an active volcano in the middle of the sea near the coast of New-Zealand's north island.
We really had our doubts about this day trip, since it's really pricy and we didn't know what to expect, but it is a really nice trip.

The first part is the cruise to the island, where we got to see whales swimming alongside the ship, and that was really breath taking.
Then, you climb into a little boat that takes you to White Island, for a tour of the steaming crater and the sulfur bright yellow rivers and holes. This volcano can actually erupt while you are visiting it which adds a little extra something to the exprience...
