In 2025, Alaska was hit by the second-highest tsunami in history. Its vibrations travelled around the world for 36 hours

On August 10, 2025, a massive landslide unleashed over 64 million cubic meters of earth into the stunning depths of Tracy Arm fjord. The sudden collapse triggered a tsunami, soaring to record heights and reshaping the fjord's landscape. Luckily, the early morning timing minimized human exposure, resulting in no casualties and limited shoreline damage. Scientists recorded related seismic activities persisting for up to 36 hours post-event.
