陶波胡卡瀑布 Taupo Huka Falls

就在距离陶波湖不远的地方
即使纽西兰著名的自然景观
胡卡瀑布
因水柱的冲力巨大
冲撞出浅蓝色的水色及许多泡沫
因此得名“胡卡”
毛利问为泡沫的意思

Not far away from Lake Taupo is the famous natural landscape, Huka Falls The water from the upstream plunging over the falls it picks up masses of tumbling air bubbles which create breathtaking colours and give the falls their name, after the maori word for "foam".


尚未进入胡卡瀑布
已传来轰轰隆隆的咆哮声
这里每秒钟的水流量达20万公升
这样的分量足以每分钟填满五个奥林匹克游泳池

The roaring of the water rumble at great speed can be heard before entering the view point of Huka Falls. About 200,000 litres of water flowing over the falls every second and this is enough to fill five Olympic swimming pools every minute.


这里水色是清澈的水蓝色
水源来自怀卡托河
在进入胡卡瀑布前
经过一个坚硬的火山岩溪谷
骤然收窄的河道使涌入的水流压力瞬间增大
导致河水从仅仅11米宽的溪谷中冲出

The water is crystal clear blue from the Waikato River at the upstream. Just before the Huka Falls it enters a shallow ravine of hard volcanic rock.  The waters roar and rumble at great speed along the ravine before bursting into space out over Huka Falls to crash into the turbulent pool 11 metres below.
