🌋 The Summit of the Crater of the Moon: Where Earth Breathes Fire Beneath Your Feet!

#hellohalloween Walk across a landscape that feels stolen from another planet — steaming vents, bubbling mud pools, and colorful mineral stains paint a scene of raw planetary power. This isn’t just a walk; it’s a journey into the heartbeat of the Earth. 💥 Why It’s Unforgettable Steam Vents Roaring: Stand beside fumaroles blasting sulfur-scented steam into the crisp mountain air Rainbow-Stained Earth: Vibrant streaks of yellow, red and emerald created by mineral-rich waters Boardwalk to Another World: Elevated pathways let you safely explore this geothermal wonderland Panoramic Mountain Backdrop: Snow-capped peaks frame the steamy spectacle 📸 Photographer’s Paradise Silhouette shots against steaming vents at golden hour Macro photos of bubbling mud pools in hypnotic motion Wide-angle landscapes showing geothermal fields with mountain ranges Time-lapse of steam clouds dancing against changing skies 🌄 Best Viewing Experience on top! Sunrise: Watch first light ignite the steam plumes in golden glory Winter Mornings: Crisp air makes steam columns rise with dramatic clarity After Rain: Enhanced steam activity and intensified mineral colors 👣 Pro Tips Wear sturdy shoes - the terrain is uneven Bring a windbreaker - steam can leave moisture Allow 90 minutes for the full loop walk Combine with nearby thermal hot springs #craterofthemoon #geothermalwonders #newzealandnature #volcaniclandscape #earthalive

I went to New Zealand's North Island. Cathedral Cove in Coromandel was amazing with its beautiful scenery. (The first photo shows a 30-minute hike to the coast, but the nature is so beautiful it cleanses the soul and the air is so fresh that the time flies! New Zealand's traffic rules are roughly the same as Japan's, so it's easy to drive even if you rent a car. However, each location is far away, so it took about 2-3 hours to get from one place to the other. There are mountain roads on the way to Coromandel, so I recommend driving during daylight hours. The third and fourth photos show Waitomo Caves, where the caves are mysterious and there are tours available, so I recommend it. The fifth photo shows Huka Falls, a beautiful waterfall. Wherever you go, the nature is so beautiful and magnificent that it helped to soothe your worries and make you forget all about your worries.)
