Location: Crater Floor, White Island, New Zealand
White Island is shaped like a horseshoe. This is a view of the crater floor looking from the building to the inner crater. White Island is very active. Though it normaly doesn't erupt lava, there are signs of volcanic activity everywhere. Steaming hot earth and boiling pools filled with mud and water.
The floor is covered with find ash so walking on it is like walking on the moon. Many fumeroles discharge hot gases, some of them reaching temperatures of over 800C - Christian Treber
