A Volcanic Palette

Image supplied by White Island Tours

I love a good volcanic landscape and there are certainly plenty of those on White Island - New Zealand's only active marine volcano in the Bay of Plenty. The stunning contrast of colours shown here are exactly what I love most. The team at White Island Tours with Peejay are the experts at giving guided tours on the island and they'll lead you safely across swirling bands of colour, steaming and hissing vents and into the heart of the excitement. www.whiteisland.co.nz Click on White Island below to see more striking volcanic images.

For an adventure you’ll never forget head straight for White Island (Whakaari) – New Zealand’s only live marine volcano. If you join White Island Tours with Pee Jay, you’ll get an in-depth insight into what makes this ancient volcanic island tick. And it’s impressive. There may not be any vegetation to speak of, but you get all those fabulous volcanic colours that I love – deep slate greys, sulphurous yellow (in fields of sulphur crystals), bright oranges, russet browns – they’re all there amid the steaming, the hissing and the bubbling.
