Greenland Landslide: Earth shook for 9 days after melting glacier causes massive landslide, 650-foot mega tsunami
Greenland Landslide: A massive landslide in Greenland in September 2023 triggered a 200-meter-high tsunami, resulting in a mysterious nine-day seismic signal that puzzled scientists worldwide. A new study, published in Science, reveals that the prolonged vibration was caused by a seiche, a wave oscillation in a narrow fjord. Researchers attribute this to climate change, warning that similar events could become more frequent in the Arctic as global temperatures rise, destabilizing mountain slopes and glaciers.
