After lunch we Spent a few hours exploring the gysers, terraces, hot springs, mud pits and caves at Orakei Korako. A great opportunity to discuss gyser physics and geothermal fields' chemistry, biology, and mineralogy. Including a stop in the secret sauna cave.
In a "small world" moment we were astounded to bump into Chris Smith, a U-M geo alum, who just happened to be on a witgeology tour of New Zealand a different group. They were just leaving as we arrived in the ferry parking lot.
