Hi Glen,
Taupo is 186 meters deep.
They monitor thermal venting at various places in the lake
using
submarines at times. I think the Antipodes had a look down
there when
it resided in N.Z. (could be wrong). Taupo has erupted
several times in the
past. Around 2000 years ago it blew up and was the largest
explosion known to man.
The dust clouds were documented by Chinese &
Romans at the time.
There is an active volcano nearby.
Used to take 2 weeks off every year & fish round Taupo
but haven't been for a while.
Mainly into saltwater fishing now.
Regards Alan

Thanks Glen,
Never felt an earthquake in Auckland, however there
are 50
old volcanoes here & we are probably due for
another one.

Hi David,
Thanks, we are 500 miles away.
Although the earthquake was of a similar magnitude
to Haiti, there wasn't that much destruction.
Two people seriously injured, a number of minor
injuries.
There are areas of N.Z. that get earthquakes
regularly; I've been in a few minor ones.
It can be a bit exciting.
