Original Message A veteran volcanologist has won New Zealand's top research honour for his work on explosive volcanoes and the threat they pose to us.

And a visualisation by the Auckland Museum shows what a volcano in New Zealand's largest city would look like.

His research showed how there was a long build-up to the massive Oruanui super-eruption from Taupo about 25,500 years ago, which created an enormous caldera that Lake Taupo fills only part of today.

Scientists believe the eruption would have been heard in central Australia and spread ash as far as Antarctica.
