Rotorua Geyser erupts after 35 years of inactivity (New Zealand Herald)

The Papakura Geyser is located at the Te Puia Te Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley in Rotorua, where there are more than 500 geothermal wonders.
This particular geyser had not shown any signs of strong life since 1979 - until last week, when intermittent "bubbling'' reached boiling point.
