In September 2023, a 1.2 kilometre-high mountain peak in an East Greenland fjord - a narrow inlet of sea between two steep cliffs - collapsed, causing a tsunami about 200 metres tall.
A landslide in Greenland, triggered by glacier melting due to climate change, caused an earthquake, vibrations from which reverberated throughout the planet for nine straight days and damaged infrastructure, according to a new study.
In September 2023, a 1.2 kilometre-high mountain peak in an East Greenland fjord - a narrow inlet of sea between two steep cliffs - collapsed, causing a tsunami about 200 metres tall.
Researchers said the giant wave rocked back and forth across the fjord for nine days, which sent seismic shocks reverberating throughout Earth's crust, baffling scientists around the world.
