Shooting Champagne Pool
Champagne Pool is a prominent geothermal feature within the Waiotapu geothermal area in the North Island of New Zealand. The orange colour originates from deposits of arsenic and antimony sulfides. The name Champagne Pool is derived from the abundant efflux of carbon dioxide (CO2), similar to a glass of bubbling champagne, unfortunately not well seen in this photo due to the choppy pool surface.
