Natural features


Hot spring, Horohoro

There are presently two hot springs depositing small sinters in this field. No boiling springs or geysers have been known at this site.

Horohoro is a naturally waning geothermal system with very extensive old sinters, dried up spring basins and big explosion craters.

A commercial glasshouse operation takes heat from the system to grow flowers.
