The Kapenga Caldera is to the south of the Rotorua Caldera and to the south-east of the Ōkataina Caldera (thick white border). Relationships to other nearby volcanic and tectonic structures is also shown.
The Kapenga Caldera (also known as the Kapenda Volcanic Centre) in New Zealand’s Taupō Volcanic Zone lies in a low land area immediately south of Lake Rotorua through the Hemo Gap in the Rotorua Caldera rim. At some time more than 60,000 years ago Lake Rotorua drained through the Hemo Gap and some of the Kapenga Caldera floor was likely occupied by a lake, that has been called Kapenga.[2]: 360
