The Alpine fault is overdue for another big slide with a 75% probability of that happening within the next 50 years.
New research shows that an earthquake-triggered Milford Sound tsunami would almost certainly kill around 3,500 people. The expected 17m tsunami would hit Te Anau within a couple of minutes and there is no safe evacuation point for most punters.
Tourists are blissfully unaware.
