The Hunter Fracture Zone is a sinistral (left-lateral) transform faulting fracture zone,[1] that to its south is part of a triple junction with the New Hebrides Trench, and the North Fiji Basin Central Spreading Ridge.[2] The Hunter Fracture Zone, with the Hunter Ridge, an area with recent volcanic activity to its north, is the southern boundary of the North Fiji Basin.[3] This boundary area in the south-western part of the Hunter Fracture Zone is associated with hot subduction, and a unique range of volcanic geochemistry.[4]
