New Zealand is home to several geothermal areas, primarily located in the North Island. These regions are characterized by volcanic activity, resulting in hot springs, geysers, and mud pools. The most famous geothermal area is in Rotorua, known for its vibrant geothermal features and cultural significance to the Māori people. Another notable geothermal site is the Taupo Volcanic Zone, which includes the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland. This area showcases colorful hot springs and unique geothermal formations. The geothermal energy produced in these regions is also harnessed for electricity generation, contributing to New Zealand's renewable energy resources.
