Frying Pan Lake is a beautiful lake in New Zealand, despite weather conditions and historical ups and downs, the lake still retains its inherent beauty and nature, giving tourists and locals a A place to relax and visit nature.

Frying Pan Lake is located in the Waimangu volcanic fissure valley in Rotorua city (New Zealand) and is known as the youngest geothermal system in the world. With an area of about ^{38,000 square meters,} this hot water pool looks like part of a volcanic crater with a flat floor 6 meters deep and vents that can be up to 20 meters deep.

Many acid springs supply water to the lake and make the water here dangerously hot with an average temperature of 45-55 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it will be very dangerous if you take a relaxing dip or even dip your toes in the lake. (Photo: When on Earth).

In 1886, Mount Tarawera erupted and set a record as the largest volcanic eruption in New Zealand. The event caused great damage and killed hundreds of people. This historic eruption created a vast caldera that was later filled with acid springs. 130 years later, the world has a newly formed famous hot spring boiling in New Zealand – Frying Pan Lake.

Like a pan placed on a burning stove, the Frying Pan lake remains in a state that appears to be boiling. It continues to release steam and various gases with the help of magma located somewhere near the surface of the lake. (Photo: Lake Scientist).

Besides steam and major gases such as carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) and hydrogen sulfide (H ₂ S) emitting, you will also easily notice the natural chimneys by the lake. The lake’s water has an average pH of 3.5. This means the lake is acidic and unsafe for visitors. (Photo: When on Earth).

Tourists can find blue or green algae growing on both sides of the lake. They produce orange keratin in the water to protect against UV rays. (Photo: When on Earth).

In addition, Frying Pan Lake is also home to many types of thermophilic bacteria such as bacteria that live in extremely hot environments or single-celled archaea. Most of the creatures that live in this lake are believed to have lived the earliest on Earth. (Photo: Flickr).

Not only Frying Pan Lake, Waimangu also has many other famous tourist attractions. Visitors can also visit Emerald Lake, Warbrick Terrace or Inferno Crater Lake with temperatures up to 74 degrees Celsius (Photo: Lake Scientist).

For those who want to visit Frying Pan Lake along with other sites in Waimangu, you can choose from guided nature walks. You will witness many other wonderful landscapes such as geysers, lakes, volcanic craters, birdlife, and flora. (Photo: When on Earth).
