Geysers are spectacular, and rare around the world. In the 19th century there were an estimated 220 of these erupting hot springs in New Zealand, but by 2004 only 58 remained. Their steaming plumes, along with bubbling waters, craters and mud pools, attract thousands each year to the Rotorua–Taupō region.
