Scientists say that a massive landslide in a Greenland fjord triggered a wave that “shook the Earth” and caused a 200-metre high wave that bounced around a narrow fjord for nine days. The event took place last September and was picked up by sensors all over the world, leading scientists to investigate where it had come from.
They then gathered satellite images and photographs of the fjord that were taken by the Danish Navy soon before the signal emerged. Eventually, the researchers calculated that a 200-meter-high "mega-tsunami" was created when 25 million cubic meters of rock—the volume of 25 Empire State Buildings—slammed into the ocean. The sediment that the enormous wave threw upwards created an imprint on the glacier that can be seen in the "after" photos taken at the spot.
