The Alpine Fault of New Zealand i's sometimes thought to be very narrow in comparison with other strike-slip faults of large displacement. This is in part due to restriction of the term "Alpine Fault" to a single fault in a zone consisting of several faults and in part to an assumption that the active fault, the main lithologic break, the physiographic break, and the fault with the largest net slip are the same. Because of lack of exposures and incomplete mapping, this assumption has not been proved. In contrast, physiographic evidence and the available exposures suggest a zone of faulting generally .j-1 mile wide.

The Five Islands are a line of topographic mounds parallel to and southwest of U.S. Highway 90 between New Iberia and Morgan City, Louisiana (Fig. 1). They are 25 to 60 mi (42 to 100 km) from I-10 at Lafayette, Louisiana. Belle Isle is only accessible by boat: the others are 5 to 18 mi (8.3 to 30 km) by rural roads, from U.S. 90. All are privately owned, and the public is no longer admitted to any of the associated salt mines.
