Mahuika crater was a hypothesized impact crater named after the Māori god of fire. It was described as being about 20 ± 2 km (12.4 ± 1.2 mi) wide and over 153 meters (502 ft) deep and on the New Zealand continental shelf at 48.3 South and 166.4 East,[1] to the south of The Snares. A 2017 survey of the purported site found no evidence supporting the existence of the crater.
