Lake Huka is a former lake whose waters, on its sudden explosive destruction, were a component in the creation of the largest phreatomagmatic eruption characterised to date. This was the Oruanui eruption of the Taupō Volcano about 25,000 years ago, which was the largest eruption on earth in the past 70,000 years. Presently the smaller Lake Taupō, currently the largest lake in New Zealand, occupies the area of the southern part of the former lake. Diatoms from sediments erupted from the former lake floor have been identified 850 km (530 mi) away on the Chatham Islands.
