The Puhipuhi Embayment (also Puhipuhi Basin) is a volcanic feature in Taupo Volcanic Zone of New Zealand associated with the collapse of the Ōkataina Caldera wall to its west.[2] Its latest significant volcanic eruption was about 31,500 years ago[3][a] and this dating required a reassessment of recent activity at the Eastern extension of the Tarawera vent alignment.[4][5][6]
