It occupies the caldera of the Taupō Volcano, which last erupted about 1,800 years ago in an event known as the Taupō eruption. This eruption was one of the most powerful volcanic events in the Earth's recent history. The lake itself spans approximately 616 square kilometers, making it the largest lake by surface area in New Zealand. Known for its crystal-clear waters and stunning natural beauty, Lake Taupō is a popular destination for fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities.
