In the shadows

I have always criticized those people who live in the shadow of a volcano. Don't those idiots know that that thing could explode any time, any day, without warning? Well I am officially one of those idiots. Rotorua is located in something called a caldera. Which is, by definition, is a collapsed volcano. This is the reason for all the thermal activity in this area. You know, boiling mud pools, ponds of crystal clear water that would cook anything that was dropped in, and entire tennis courts being blown to bits by hot steam vents randomly spouting up from the ground. All that fun stuff.

This lovely little pool is one of hundreds. Located right next to a park, actually.

So, am I worried?

 Not at all.

 After all the odds of something happening are small

 right?
