An Island in Lake Taupo (1/13)

It’s an island that is off limits, the Maoris call it “Tapu” and there is a curse on anyone who visits unless you have special permission from the Maori Tohunga.

I believe it is a burial ground.  A place that is “Tapu” is ground to stay well away from and it is labeled that for a very good reason
