Ohinemutu is always blanketed in steam, but a fresh eruption in the lake this weekend has frightened a few residents.

Saturday afternoon, about 4pm, Maaka Maxwell, 10, and his brother Ari, 11, came running into the house yelling that the lake had erupted. "There was like a geyser in the lake," Ari said. "Smoke was coming out of it but it wasn't really scary."

The geyser came up in Te Ruapeka Bay. In April last year, a new ngāwha (geyser of boiling water) appeared in front of St Faith's church. It followed a series of hydrothermal eruptions in Lake Rotorua in late 2016 and early 2017.

The eruptions were near Ohinemutu Village and were described as geysers of water emerging from the lake. Maaka and Ari's mum Rongopai Stirling-Maxwell said with the previous eruptions there had been an "explosion noise" but there was nothing like that yesterday.
