Waimangu Volcanic Valley, New Zealand
Less than an hour south of Rotorua we came to the Waimangu Volcanic Valley.  It is also connected thermally to the same area as Mt. Tarawera.  This was a great little hike- you can hike along a steaming lake, with bubbling streams (not babbling, but bubbling from heat) and acid lakes.  Since steam doesn't photograph well in 3D, I've included a simple 2D version of the steaming lake, to the right.
