Waikato is riddled with this sort of thing; steam rising from the odd pool by the side of the road, mud pools etc. The commercial ones (Craters of the Moon, Thermal Wonderland) are simply remarkable. Nothing else (apart from a volcanic eruption or an earthquake) can convey how flimsy the earth's crust is and how different the world is on the inside. A thin skin on the surface of custard perhaps.
...and sitting in a river that's as hot as a bath as it flows gently along is pretty surreal too...
