Hot springs in New Zealand
Ketetahi Springs
New Zealand has a large number of hot springs, known as waiariki in Māori. Many of them are used for therapeutic purposes.
The highest concentration of such springs is in the Central Plateau region of the North Island, in the Taupo Volcanic Zone. The area of Whakarewarewa near Rotorua is also known as Waiariki due to the abundance of geothermal features in the area.
