Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "As we go south the lava increases until at last one reaches the Hot Lake region, a tract about one hundred miles long, containing two million acres. Rotorua is the chief town of this hot spring's region. Here there are hotels and numerous cottages. People from all parts of the southern Pacific come to bathe in the springs for their health, and there are great bath houses containing pools of the hot, bad-smelling water. One of the principal geysers is Pohutu (the splasher) which throws up boiling water to a height of about 60 feet."
