A tour group to White Island in the Bay of Plenty on the North Island of New Zealand stand over a large, steaming volcanic opening.

While on a tour to White Island in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand with Peejay, a well known tour company, each person in the group is supplied with a hard hat as a safety precaution. Across the landscape, visitors will find many volcanic openings where they can watch the steam emerging from them.

White Island is blanketed in sulphur and volcanic rock which has been blown from the volcano during three major explosions, one in 1886, one in 1914 and the last in 1953. Since 1976, White Island has shown a fair amount of activity with no serious eruptions and still remains as New Zealand's most frequently active volcano.
