Item Description
Single stamp beautifully centred. Mint lightly hinged. See scan for details.View of the White Terraces, Lake Rotomahana. The White Terraces were situated at the north-east corner of Lake Rotomahana, near Rotorua. The hot waters descended to the lake over a series of spreading ledges or hollowed terraces.
The white terraces - known by Maori as Te Tarata / the tattooed rock - were the larger and more beautiful formation, covering three hectares (seven acres) and descending 30m.
They were considered the eighth wonder of the natural world until they were completely destroyed by the violent volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886. The eruption claimed around 150 lives and is the most violent and destructive volcanic eruption in recent local history.
