  • Taranaki, also known as Mount Egmont, is reflected in the waters of Lake Mangamahoe near New Plymouth, New Zealand at sunrise. Red and pink clouds, colored by the warm light of sunrise, arc over the mountain and lake. The 8,261-foot (2,518-meter) mountain is still considered an active volcano; it last erupted in 1854.

  • Dawson Falls drops 18 meters (59 feet) into a small gorge in Egmont National Park in the Taranaki District on the North Island of New Zealand. Dawson Falls is located along Kāpuni Stream. The native Māori people know the waterfall as Te Rere o Noke or the Falls of Noke, a Māori warrior who hid from his pursuers behind the falls.

  • Fish swim through and around a colony of Fiordland Black Coral (Antipathella fiordensis) in Milford Sound on the South Island of New Zealand. Of the black corals, Fiordland Black Coral is unusual because it's found in the shallowest waters. Most black corals are deep sea species, but Fiordland Black Coral is found at depths of just 10 to 50 meters (32 to 164 feet). Black coral actually appears white when its alive, and unlike other corals does not need warm, shallow water. Milford Sound is host to 7 million coral colonies, which have been developing for 200 million years. The Fiordland Black Coral is visible without diving to visitors of the Marine Discovery Centre in Milford Sound, which extends 10 meters under water.

In this image, Motuotamatea Island (Snapper Rock) is visible on the left. On the right, from front to back, the islands are Mataora Island (Round Rock), Pararaki Island (Seagull Rock) and Waikaranga Island (Seal Rocks).

  • A black swan (Cygnus atratus) swims across New Zealand's Lake Mangamahoe with Taranaki (Mount Egmont) in the background. While black swans were brought from Australia to New Zealand in the 1860s, there's some debate as to whether the species should be considered introduced. Black swan populations grew rapidly, suggesting the many of the birds may have found their own way to the country. The black swan is New Zealand's largest wetland bird.

The area was given that name because its largest geyser erupted water that was filled with mud and rocks.

Spermaceti is used for echolocation and communication and may help adjust the whale's buoyancy.
