Yes,I know that NZ is an earthquake/volcano zone.In fact,I once went to a town on the North Island called Rotorua which is a big geothermal energy area.I guess they pipe this energy into homes and businesses for free heat and things like that.The town *did* have a pretty strong sulfur smell to it...at least parts of the town did.
You get used to the smell..
There’s sulpher springs in the South Island too...
Mariua Sprimgs was about 40 miles from where I used to live...
We used to go there in the winter time ...
outdoor swinmming in the snow...
