The Pink and White Terraces were the only New Zealand example of limestone terrace formations; they were formed by geothermally heated water containing large amounts of silica regularly spouting from two geysers located beside Lake Rotomahana and cascading down a hill slope, leaving thick pink and white silica deposits that formed terraces The terraces were destroyed around 3 am on 10 June 1886 when Mt Tarawera erupted.
