What travelers say:
The uneven surface of the surface is really the kind of potholes on the lunar surface, and there will be geothermal heat from time to time. New Zealand is rich in geological landforms, and it is a good place to take a view of the lunar surface!

Craters of the Moon Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
A lunar crater is the crater of an active volcano that is shaped like a lunar crater, hence the name. It is spectacular to see hot steam emerging from the surface. Of course there are also some souvenirs for sale here.

He walked a little longer than the rest of the geothermal experience in the Taupo area. Nevertheless, it was easy to walk on a wide boardwalk. There were a lot of steam vents and several craters, including two mud pools. There was a circle loop that needed to walk 120 steps because I was bypassed because my knee was bad. Considering the ticket was only $8, it was very worth it
A privately operated geothermal park, the taste is relatively large, personal feeling is particularly interested in geomorphology and other geology can be visited, it seems that the general feeling is not too interesting, after all, that is, smoke on the ground, the taste is also particularly strong.
The scenery here is unique, the scenery here is unique
$10NZ entry fee and it’s around 45 minutes to walk around the whole track.
Digu Ring Mountain is one of the most observed Ring Mountains, with a diameter of about 85 kilometers and a depth of about 4850 meters. At the bottom of the crater there are complex central peaks, up to 1600 meters. The Tycho Ring is 51 miles (82 kilometers) in diameter, visible to the naked eye on Earth, but in fact it is the target of many astronomers. In 1968, the U.S. "Surveyor" 7 lunar probe captured some radiation patterns in the Tycho Ring Mountain. There are 12 radiation patterns in the Tycho Ring Mountains. They pass through mountains, moon valleys and the Moon Sea. The longest one is 1800 kilometers long and the widest one is 20 kilometers wide. Most scientists believe that rocks and rock powders are thrown around when volcanic eruptions or large meteorites strike the surface of the moon. Later, these substances gradually fell back to the moon and became radiation lines. Because of their high albedo, they look particularly bright.
