The Natural Wonders of New Zealand (the Wonderland of the Pacific) : Its Boiling Lakes, Steam Holes, Mud Volcanoes, Sulphur Baths, Medicinal Springs, and Burning Mountains (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Natural Wonders of New Zealand (the Wonderland of the Pacific): Its Boiling Lakes, Steam Holes, Mud Volcanoes, Sulphur Baths, Medicinal Springs, and Burning Mountains

To give a popular description of the marvellous natural phenomena of boiling hot wells and rivers, mud and lakes, steam-holes, and numerous valuable medicinal springs and baths of hot and cold water and hot mud in the neighbourhood of Auckland, is the object of the present work.

Our first edition was imperfect, it being then almost impossible for a European, in the troubled state the natives were in, to visit and examine carefully the Hot Lake District.
