Whakaari is New Zealand’s most active volcano, being in a state of continuous volcanic activity for some 150,000 years.
It is frilled with a skirt of pohutukawa forest and at its centre is a boiling, sulphuric crater lake with an ever-attendant volcanic plume, which is acidic. In the cool evenings, the plume is large enough to form rain. Yes, the rain is acid too.
