Description: A wall along Lake Rotomahana, which was expanded in the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera. This location was the site of the White and Pink Terraces in the late 19th Century - hot springs that grew into massive, terraced formations, hundreds of feet high, that were a tourist attraction for English and Europeans who wanted to "take the waters." The Terraces were destroyed in the 1886 eruption.
