Largest blowhole in the world 世界最大的吹蚀洞

[stabilowl]

Kiama is a small town south of Sydney, and it's main attraction is the Kiama Blowhole. A blowhole is a sea cave that made its way inland and go up vertically to a vent. The bending in the cave causes water pressure to build up when waves forces water up the vent, leading to a spectacular water eruption

Kiama 凯阿马是悉尼南边的一个小镇。小镇上最出名的是他们的吹蚀洞。吹蚀洞是因海洋侵蚀所形成的海蚀洞往内陆向上方伸展，形成了一个朝天的出囗。当海浪涌进海蚀洞时，弯曲洞穴里空气形成了高水压，把海水像喷泉一样从洞口喷出，十分壮观。

The Kiama Blowhole is in fact the largest blowhole in the world. Under the right condition, the blowhole can spray water as high as 20 meters. Apparently it will light up at night until 1 am for those who want to enjoy this particular Water Show under the night sky.

凯阿马吹蚀洞是全世界最大的吹蚀洞。在特定情况下，喷泉可以高达二十米。晚上直到凌晨一点，这里还会打射灯，在夜空下欣赏这天然喷泉肯定是另一番风味。

Next to the blowhole is the Kiama Lighthouse which was built over 100 years ago in 1887. Something to look at when you are waiting for the blowhole to erupt.

在吹蚀洞旁是有百年历史的凯阿马灯塔，建于1887年。在等待喷泉时挺值得仔细欣赏。

Wow! It looks amazing. 20 meters.. that's super big! It must be a great experience to see it in real!

[stabilowl]

Yeah, it was cool, although I don't think it got to the highest point when we were there. It really depends on the conditions. It's definitely amaIng to see though. Thanks for visiting!
