The "Craters of the Moon", near Lake Taupo. They are part of Wairakei, New Zealand's largest geothermal field. Its visible activity increased a lot when the Geothermal Power Station opened in 1958, draining water from geothermally heated underground supplies and thus increasing the heat of the remaining water.
