Champagne Pool Artists Pallet Wai O Tapu Thermal Wonderland NZ

The vibrant colors fringing the Champagne Pool at the Artist's Pallet at the Wai-o-tapu Thermal Wonderland in the Bay of Plenty, NZ with steam rising off the surface.

The edges of the Champagne Pool at the Artist's Pallet at Wai-o-tapu Thermal Wonderland in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand are layered in a beautiful shade of orange. Mineral deposits are what gives the pool its color, a hydrothermal crater which was created 900 years ago.

The Champagne Pool is extremely hot, approximately 158-167 degrees farenheit, with steam rising off the surface. The pool resembles that of a glass of champagne as tiny bubbles rise to the surface which is how the name of the pool came about.

Many visitors to the Wai-o-tapu Thermal Wonderland in the Bay of Plenty, NZ find this geological feature fascinating.
