GNS Science deploys Boxfish ROV for Pink Terraces survey

One of the earliest tourism attractions of New Zealand – the Pink Terraces, located in the Waimangu Valley – were destroyed by the eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886 and considered to have been lost forever. GNS Science has checked the theory about the burial of the Pink Terraces under the Lake Rotomahana with Boxfish ROV.

”The Boxfish ROV was perfect for our initial survey of the Pink Terraces as is light, manoeuvrable, and provides great images” – commented researcher Dr. Cornel E.J. de Ronde from GNS Science.
