Neat stuff in the Field

Alpine Fault, New Zealand, 2009
The Alpine Fault is a strike-slip fault that runs nearly the entire length of New Zealand's south island. There is a significant reverse component of displacement creating the Southern Alps on the east side of the fault. The last large earthquake was 1717 AD.
