Colorful Sulphur Deposits White Island Bay Of Plenty
Photo & Vacation Spot

A lunar landscape with splashes of colour from the sulphur deposits beside the small streams on White Island in the Bay of Plenty of NZ.

A medley of colours like on an artist's palette, combined with an arid lunar landscape make White Island an interesting subject to photograph.

Steam billows from one of the most acidic lakes in the world on White Island, giving only a slight clue to its explosive past. In the past, White Island has produced lava flows, and eruptions which cover the colourful sulphur deposits in fine grey ash and clogging streams.

Streams and sulphur deposits are part of the landscape of White Island, an active volcano, Bay of Plenty, East Coast, North Island, New Zealand.
