A quake measuring 4.9 hit Fiordland at 2.51pm yesterday. It was centred 80km west of Te Anau at a depth of 12km. It was probably felt in southern Fiordland and possibly western Southland, GNS Science said.
Southland and Fiordland have experienced a series of aftershocks following a 7.8 earthquake - the biggest in the world this year - in Fiordland last month.
