bulletThe Emerald Terrace

As you cross Lake Ohakuri by boat, the Emerald Terrace seems to grow larger.   This silicon terrace is the largest of its kind in New Zealand and is about 20 metres thick. It continues another 35 metres under the Lake.

Its eruptions are unpredictable, lasting a few minutes to sometimes many hours, ejecting boiling water as high as 8 metres.   It gets its name from the way it shatters its water jet into millions of droplets which sparkle like diamonds in the sunlight.
