ResumoThe Utiku landslide in the central part of North Island, New Zealand, is a composite failure in Pliocene siltstones, part of a regional east-northeast-trending sedimentary belt across the entire island. The Utiku slide, a small portion of a larger, ancient landslide complex, was reactivated in 1964 and has caused considerable damage to the North Island Main Trunk railway line and State Highway 1, both major transportation routes between Wellington and Auckland.
