Vintage 8mm footage from New Zealand in 1981 captures geothermal activity at the Wairakei Geothermal Power Station. The clip opens with steam rising from a natural vent in a grassy area, followed by wide shots of a large lake or geothermal basin under a cloudy sky, with birds flying overhead. A clear shot shows the official sign for the New Zealand Electricity Wairakei Geothermal Power Station Information Centre. The film exhibits characteristic Super 8 grain, color fading, and slight motion blur, conveying a nostalgic, archival quality of early environmental energy development.
