STS 91-726-33
Westward view of northern South Island, New Zealand. At the northwest end of South Island, the bony finger of the Farewell Spit curves around Golden Bay; Separation Point intervenes between Golden (NW) and Tasman (SE) Bays. The city of Nelson is on the eastern shore of Tasman Bay. New Zealand sits astride the boundary between the Australian-Indian and the Pacific plates of the Earth's crust. The two great masses are moving obliquely toward each other, which results in uplift of the Southern Alps (middle ground and distance) as well as horizontal movement on long, straight fault zones. The rusty, bare area south of Nelson is Red Hill (1,790 m); the south end of the mountain has been displaced about 480 km to the south by the Alpine fault, the principal plate-boundary fault. In northern South Island, the Alpine fault zone splays out to the northeast; several of the splays are well captured in this view.
