ROTORUA, New Zealand, July 26 (UPI) -- A long forgotten geothermal spectacle on New Zealand's North Island could be coming back to life after more than 40 years, scientists said.
In the first half of the 20th century the Waikite Geyser in the Whakarewarewa geothermal area near Rotorua was known for its spectacular hot water eruptions reaching up to 65 feet but had not produced a significant eruption since 1969, the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences said.
