spring is over 370 feet in diameter and
121
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:15,120
its colors are caused by microbial mats

that thrive in the hot and mineral rich
123
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,978
waters. The deep blue color of the water
124
00:07:17,939 --> 00:07:22,860
in the center of the pool results from
125
00:07:19,978 --> 00:07:24,839
the intrinsic blue color of water. The
126
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:27,180
effect is most substantial in the center

hills are not made of chocolate, but they
192
00:11:07,139 --> 00:11:11,519
get their name from their brown color
193

during the dry season which makes them
194
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:16,379

195
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:18,480
exact formation process of the hills is
196
00:11:16,379 --> 00:11:21,419

that they were once coral reefs uplifted
198
00:11:21,419 --> 00:11:26,639

199
00:11:23,578 --> 00:11:29,159

905
00:55:41,159 --> 00:55:46,199
The Waitomo Glowworm Caves in New
906
00:55:43,980 --> 00:55:48,838
Zealand is a natural wonder that looks
907
00:55:46,199 --> 00:55:50,939
like something out of a fantasy world as
908
00:55:48,838 --> 00:55:53,400
the name suggests. The caves are known
909
00:55:50,940 --> 00:55:56,700
for the bioluminescent glowworms that
910
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:59,338
illuminate them. These tiny creatures have
911
00:55:56,699 --> 00:56:01,500
a soft blue-green light creating a
912
00:55:59,338 --> 00:56:04,199
surreal and magical ambience throughout
913
00:56:01,500 --> 00:56:08,639
the cave. The caves were first explored
914
00:56:04,199 --> 00:56:12,118
in 1887 by local Maori chief, Tane Tinorau,
915
00:56:08,639 --> 00:56:14,279
and an English surveyor, Fred Mace. Since then
916
00:56:12,119 --> 00:56:16,740
the caves have become a popular tourist
917
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:18,800
attraction drawing tourists worldwide to
918
00:56:16,739 --> 00:56:21,000
witness their extraordinary beauty.
919
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:23,220
Sightseers can take a boat tour inside
920
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:25,559
the caves, through the dark underground
921
00:56:23,219 --> 00:56:28,019
of the caverns where thousands of glowworms
922
00:56:25,559 --> 00:56:29,700
illuminate the walls and ceiling. The
923
00:56:28,019 --> 00:56:31,500
tour guides provide a wealth of
924
00:56:29,699 --> 00:56:33,659
information about the caves and the
925
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:36,358
fascinating creatures that inhabit them.
926
00:56:33,659 --> 00:56:38,159
The Waitomo Glowworm Caves are not
927
00:56:36,358 --> 00:56:40,739
only visually stunning, but also
928
00:56:38,159 --> 00:56:42,719
ecologically important. The glowworms
929
00:56:40,739 --> 00:56:44,939
play a vital role in the Cave's
930
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:48,919
ecosystem and the preservation of their
931
00:56:44,940 --> 00:56:51,539
habitat is critical to their survival.
