About 20 m (65 feet) of foreshore disappears during a
swarm of earthquakes at Taupo volcano, New Zealand
Tuesday, December 6, 2022
About 20 m (65.6 feet) of foreshore in Wharewaka, Lake
Taupo, New Zealand disappeared after a strong and
shallow M5.6 earthquake and numerous aftershocks at
Taupō volcano at the end of November 2022.
As a result, the Taupō District Council is urging
residents and visitors to keep away well back from the
edge until they organize a temporary fence.1
“One of the most visible signs is the damage to the
beach area at Wharewaka Point. While we know people are
interested in having a look at what’s going on, we have
serious concerns about the land stability there.
“We estimate we’ve lost around 20 m of foreshore. Other
agencies are investigating the cause, but it may be a
result of land slumping with a resultant wave on the
lake, rather than a wave alone.
“Our team is working to organize a temporary fence but
in the meantime, to keep everyone safe in this area we
ask that you please keep yourself, your children and
your vehicles well back from the edge.”

I can imagine something like that could possibly happen at Lake Tahoe.
