found: Wikipedia, Dec. 6, 2007(The Taupo Volcanic Zone is an active volcanic area in the North Island of New Zealand. It is named after Lake Taupo, which is the flooded caldera of the largest volcano in the zone.)

found: New Zealand's volcanoes Web site, Dec. 6, 2007(Most New Zealand volcanism in the last 1.6 million years has occurred in the Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ). The zone is an elongate area that extends from White Island to Ruapehu. The Taupo Volcanic Zone is extremely active on a world scale: it includes three frequently active cone volcanoes (Ruapehu, Tongariro/Ngauruhoe, White Island), and two of the most productive calderas in the world (Okataina and Taupo))

found: Lake Taupo Volcanic Zone Web site, Dec. 6, 2007(Lake Taupo is at the centre of one of the most active volcanic areas in the world - called the Lake Taupo Volcanic Zone. The Zone is thought to be the western end of the Pacific Ring of Fire and is named after Lake Taupo at its very centre, which is, in reality, a flooded caldera of the largest volcano in the zone. There are numerous "smaller" volcanic vents and geothermal fields in the zone, with the magnificent Mount Ruapehu, Mount Ngauruhoe and White Island erupting most frequently.)

found: Volcano world Web site, Dec. 6, 2007(under Rotorua, New Zealand: The Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) is 12-48 miles (20-80 km) wide and extends from Ruapehu in the south to the Okataina Volcanic Center in the north and continues 120 miles (200 km) offshore. The zone is flanked by thick aprons of welded pyroclastic flows tha t form shallow dipping plateaus. The Taupo Volcanic Zone has anomalously high heat flow and widespread hydrothermal activity. Volcanism began about 1 million years ago and has been calc-alkaline in character.)
