Apparently yes, according to experts ... however in the latest Christchurch earthquakes, boiling water has been noted springing up all around it and some of the earthquakes were centered in and around Lyttelton. A strong smell of sulfur was also noted just after these quakes. The experts insist it is extinct but is there really any such thing as an extinct volcano?
