Ketetahi Springs

New Zealand has a large number of hot springs. 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 Taupō Volcanic Zone. The area of Whakarewarewa near Rotorua is also known as Waiariki, from the Māori name for hot springs, due to the abundance of geothermal features in the area.
