Greenland Mega-Tsunami Led to Week-Long Oscillating Fjord Wave
A massive tsunami in Greenland sent seismic waves around the world, triggering a week-long oscillating wave in a nearby fjord.
The event, which occurred in September 2023, was caused by a landslide that displaced a vast amount of water in a narrow fjord. The resulting mega-tsunami generated seismic waves that were recorded by stations around the world.
The mega-tsunami had a devastating impact on the fjord, causing extensive damage to infrastructure and wildlife. The wave also triggered a week-long oscillating wave that continued to impact the fjord long after the initial tsunami had passed.
Scientists are still studying the event, but they believe that it was one of the largest tsunamis ever recorded in Greenland. The event highlights the potential for tsunamis to cause significant damage even in remote areas.
