White Island is an active volcano which is located 50km north of the shore of Whakatane. Due to its high activity, sulfur is created by the volcano, through a huge lake of sulfuric acid, and in solid state on one face of the volcano. A mining facility has been installed on the island, which started in 1885 and was stoped in 1930s. The facility was then destroyed by an eruption, which created a huge wave of mud and scories. Ruins of the facilities can still be accessed and visited. Which then, today and tomorrow mean a $200 New Zealand dollar boat trip (with a group) or $600 helicopter flight. Thus not cheap and not the sort of location which can be accessed any other way.
