A massive tsunami struck Tracy Arm Fjord in Alaska in August following a mountainside collapse
On August 10, a mountainside at the mouth of South Sawyer glacier in remote Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska detached and fell into the ocean, generating a wave that reached approximately 1,500 feet (500 meters) in height. This was the second-tallest tsunami wave ever recorded. The event occurred early in the morning when few people were present, and scientists have since conducted detailed analysis of the landslide and wave dynamics.
