I live 80 miles from this currently locked "Alpine Fault": Jesus, Mary and Joseph, we love you! Save Souls! http://www.3news.co.nz/The-risk-of-the-Alpine-Fault/tabid/367/articleID/306518/Default.aspx
I spent 3 months traveling down through NZ, its a really beautiful place. Some parts on the south west side of the south island you feel completley towered over my amazing mountains and Glaziers, would be very scary there when those rumbles start.
