Discover the lost natural wonder of New Zealand - the Pink and White Terraces. Once hailed as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World', these stunning terraces were formed by geothermal activity in the heart of the Taupo Volcanic Zone. In this video, we delve into the fascinating history, geological formation, and the tragic destruction of these magnificent silica sinter terraces by the catastrophic 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera.

Join us as we explore the rich Māori heritage associated with these terraces, the scientific phenomenon behind their formation, and the recent efforts to rediscover what remains beneath Lake Rotomahana. From their discovery in the 19th century to their re-emergence in modern research, the story of the Pink and White Terraces is a captivating journey through time and nature.
