Introduction
Pohutu Geyser in Rotorua's Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley is the most spectacular geyser in the area — its Maori name means 'big splash' or 'constant eruption', jetting up to 30 m as often as 20 times a day. Driven by underground hot and cold mixing, it often erupts with the neighbouring Prince of Wales Feathers; from the village lookout the roaring steam is breathtaking.
