Buried by a 330 Foot High Wall of Water; The Greenland Megatsunami Which Just Occurred

Описание: On September 16th of 2023, a landslide within a fjord generated a 328 foot or 100 meter high wall of water (a tsunami) which would go on to cause damage to several structures. This represents the second such landslide generated tsunami to have occurred within Greenland since 2016. This video will discuss this disaster and how it relates to glacial retreat.

Note: This video rounds my personal estimate of a maximum 328 foot run-up tsunami height during the September 16th 2023 Greenland tsunami event to 330 feet.
