Have you seen the Pink and White Terraces? (island, underwater)

[Mouldy Old Schmo]

Considered the "Eighth Wonder of the World" on New Zealand's North Island. Have you seen them?

I don't think anyone here is 140 years old...

Weren't they destroyed when Mt Tarawera blew up?

What's left of 'em is at the bottom of a lake.

I suspect if one were to go to an Indonesian forum and ask if anyone has seen Krakatoa, you'd get the same response

There still is a Krakatoa.

That's the one west of Java?

You may still be able to see the pink terraces if you want to, a fragment or two may still exist under water.

No the original krakatoa is gone
What exists is a new volcano called anak (child) krakatoa.

There is something left on them on the bottom of Lake Rotomahana at the Waimangu Volcanic Valley. If you've got a PADI cert. it may be worth a trip to see them. They probably wouldn't look that pink underwater though.
