White Island (Whakaari)
Bay of Plenty (offshore), New Zealand
White Island (Whakaari), located offshore in New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty, is one of the country’s most active volcanoes and a striking natural landmark.
Rising from the sea, the island is known for its dramatic volcanic landscape, featuring steaming vents, crater walls, mineral-rich deposits, and geothermal activity. For many years it was a popular destination for guided tours, offering visitors a close-up view of an active volcanic environment.
Today, access is highly restricted due to volcanic hazards, but Whakaari remains an important site for scientific research and a powerful reminder of New Zealand’s dynamic geological processes.
