The Otago fault system (also known as Otago reverse fault province) contains multiple faults with the potential to have rupture events greater than Mw7 in magnitude. These are parallel to, and to the east of the Alpine Fault in the south eastern part of the South Island of New Zealand. It accommodates about 2 mm (0.079 in)/year of contraction.
