Hot Water Beach, Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand

Wednesday, November 5, 2014

Volcanoes near this beach on the eastern edge of New Zealand's North Island develop large underground reservoirs of extremely hot water. Over time, this water escapes to the surface, cooling along the way, though still emerging at temperatures as hot as 147 F (64 C).
