Huka falls, NZ

in #travel6 years ago

My strongest memory from this place was the loud sound and the amazing speed of the water crossing trough. About 200 000 liters of water plunge nine meters over the great rock face of Huka Falls every second - that's enough to fill five Olympic swimming pools every minute. The flow of the falls is so strong it prevents the upstream migration of trout and native fish as eels which is why there are no eels to be found in Lake Taupo. If you are lucky enough to have a sunny day, the water is an amazing, crystal clear blue. Enjoy the pictures!

Wow - 200 000 litters of water per second, that is a lot, great photos!!
Nice post

Yeah, it's a lot of water! :D

One of the cleanest and still magical ( with blue tint ) flowing water I've seen in recent times. At first I thought first and last images are mirror images. My bad! :D

Yeah, it was an amazing place!

The last time I saw water with this exact shade of blue was in Argentina! It's amazingly beautiful :-)

Yes it is! Cool! Where in Argentina?

Okay! I´ll keep that in my mind!
