About

Lake Wānaka is New Zealand's fourth-largest lake and the seat of the town of Wānaka in the Otago region. The lake is 300 meters above sea level, covers about 198 km2 (76 sq mi), and is more than 300 m (980 ft) deep.

"Wānaka" is the South Island Māori dialect pronunciation of wānanga, which means "the lore of the tohunga or priest" or a place of learning.
