[Geysers] Wairakei Geyser Valley Movie

[Ron Keam]

It was interesting to see this brief historical film of New Zealand 
thermal activity.  Certainly I recognise the former Twins Geyser at 
Wairakei Geyser Valley and the fumarole shown was probably Karapiti 
not far from there.  I was not able to identify some of the features 
taken close-up, and it is possible they might have also been at 
Wairakei, but there are good shots of Waikite Geyser at Whakarewarewa 
and also of Pohutu (the high steady column geyser), so not all of the 
elements in the film are of features at Wairakei.
