Here, mineral-rich water from hot springs has created huge terraces made of travertine. As hot water rises from underground through the rock, large quantities of limestone are dissolved and deposited at the surface when the water cools down, building the terraces. While travertine is normally a white material, bacteria that thrive in the hot water form large orange-brownish mats covering the surfaces. The terraces constantly grow where hot water flows over them and erode where the supply of water stops, thereby slowly changing shape over time.

Mok Nik....nak ambil gambar family...boleh kenapa nak terbangkan saya dari KL ke US ke? saya rasa Yellow Stone, US ni lagi besar dari Rotorua, NZ....lah. Teringin pulak nak pi sana tapi sekarang ni belum boleh lagi coz banyak commitment....and tunggu duit dari Luxor..kalau dapat 5 figure baru boleh start round the world. Last year dah jelajah NZ selama 6 bulan b4 Europe and Insyallah next year Australia or US pulak. Nanti bolehlah Mok Nik jadi tour guide saya ?
