What travelers say:
The uneven surface of the surface is really the kind of potholes on the lunar surface, and there will be geothermal heat from time to time. New Zealand is rich in geological landforms, and it is a good place to take a view of the lunar surface!

A lunar crater is the crater of an active volcano that is shaped like a lunar crater, hence the name. It is spectacular to see hot steam emerging from the surface. Of course there are also some souvenirs for sale here.

He walked a little longer than the rest of the geothermal experience in the Taupo area. Nevertheless, it was easy to walk on a wide boardwalk. There were a lot of steam vents and several craters, including two mud pools. There was a circle loop that needed to walk 120 steps because I was bypassed because my knee was bad. Considering the ticket was only $8, it was very worth it
A geothermal park operated by privately, the taste is relatively large, and the personal feeling is that you are particularly interested in geology such as landforms. It seems that the general feeling is not very meaningful. After all, it is smoke on the ground and the taste is particularly rushing.

$10NZ entry fee and it’s around 45 minutes to walk around the whole track.
The valley is one of the most observed craters, about 85 kilometers in diameter and about 4,850 meters deep. At the bottom of the crater, there are more complex central peak groups, up to 1,600 meters. Tygu is 51 miles (82 kilometers) in diameter and can be seen with the naked eye on Earth, but it is actually the target of many astronomical enthusiasts. In 1968, the American Surveyor 7 lunar rover captured some of the radiant patterns of Tygu. The radiant lines of the Tigga crater have 12, which cross the mountains, the valleys, and the moon sea. The longest radiant lines are 1,800 kilometers long, and the widest one is 20 kilometers wide. How do they form? Most scientists believe that rocks and rock powder are thrown around when volcanic eruptions or large comets hit the lunar surface. Later, these materials gradually fall back to the lunar surface and become radiant. Because of their large albedo, they look particularly bright.
