In 1903, 110 million tonnes of rock fell on a sleeping Canadian town in two minutes; even now, part of Frank remains buried beneath the mountain

In 1903, a massive rockslide from Turtle Mountain devastated the town of Frank, Alberta. This catastrophic event remains Canada's deadliest landslide, with many lives tragically lost. The mountain, known for its instability, continues to be monitored by geologists for future risks. Despite the disaster, life in Frank persisted, and the town eventually amalgamated with others.
