„Awe inspiring, terrifying and in some ways fragile and beautiful...” White Island is New Zealand’s most active volcano. Stepping foot inside the active crater is an experience never to be forgotten. A fascinating natural laboratory of hissing fumaroles, lava bombs, glittering yellow sulphur crystals, unusual rock formations, bubbling mud pots, hot thermal streams and a spectacular, steaming crater lake. One can explore the ruins of an abandoned sulphur mine and learn about the demise of the mining operations that finally ceased in 1933. The volcano emerges from the sea 49 km north of Whakatane, and can be reached by boat tours with White Island Tours that depart daily from the Whakatane Wharf. | Translation - German
„Ehrfurchtgebietend, erschreckend und in gewisser Hinsicht zerbrechlich und wunderschön...“ White Island ist Neuseelands aktivster Vulkan. Es ist ein unvergessliches Erlebnis den aktiven Krater zu betreten. Ein faszinierendes natürliches Labor aus zischenden Fumarolen, Lavabomben, funkelnden gelben Schwefelkristallen, ungewöhnlichen Felsformationen, brodelnden Schlammsprudeln, heißen Thermalströmen und einem spektakulären, dampfenden Kratersee. Man kann die Ruinen einer verlassenen Schwefelmine erkunden und Wissenswertes über den Niedergang der Grubenförderung erfahren, die 1933 endgültig eingestellt wurde. Der Vulkan erhebt sich 49 km nördlich von Whakatane aus dem Meer und kann per Bootsausflug mit den White Island Tours erreicht werden, die täglich vom Whakatane-Kai abfahren. | English to German: Five lives of an artist - subtitling
