Ngāraratuatara - Cooking Pool in Te Puia
Whakarewarewa, Rotorua, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand The boiling pools - as this one, the Ngāraratuatara - of the Geothermal Valley of Te Whakarewarewa would traditionally be used for cooking meals and blanching flax. “Ngāraratuatara” means “the eye of the tuatara”. A tuatara is a lizard-like reptile native to New Zealand with the name meaning “spiny back”. The surrounding edges of the pool resembles the skin surrounding the eye of a tuatara.
