The Photo shows an impression of the Champagne Pool located in the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland in New Zealand. The spring is 65m in diameter and 62m deep. Its surface temperature is 74 degree Celsius and bubbles are due to carbon dioxide. The pool was formed 700 years ago by a hydrothermal eruption.
