If you happen to visit New Zealand, spend a few days near Lake Taupo, a great inland sea that is almost the size of Singapore. The lake is said to have been formed around 2000 years ago due to a huge volcanic eruption. In fact, geysers have come out in some areas and there are parts of the lake where the water is warm. The lake is famous for water sports such as sailing, water skiing, and kayaking. When you go around the lake, you will see spectacular landscapes that are nature’s creations.
