CHAMPAGNE POOL - WAIOTAPU, NEW ZEALAND

Champagne Pool is one of the most popular—and most vibrant—attractions in Waiotapu, a geothermal area on New Zealand's North Island. Waiotapu is Māori for "sacred waters." The 213-foot-wide spring contains high amounts of carbon dioxide gas, which bubble and reach temperatures of around 165 degrees Fahrenheit/73.8 degrees Celsius. You may not be able to swim in this particular hot spring, but you can still enjoy its surreal beauty and take in the other sites of the such as, boiling mud pools and the erupting Lady Knox Geyser'.
