Greenland: A landslide triggered a mega-tsunami. Then came
Sep 13, 2024 — The subsequent mega-tsunami — one of the highest in recent history — set off a wave which became trapped in the bendy, narrow fjord for more than a week, sloshing back and forth every 90 seconds.
NASA’s SWOT Satellite Spots Massive Tsunami Locked in Greenland
10 hours ago — NASA’s SWOT Satellite Spots Massive Tsunami Locked in Greenland. A SWOT data visualization shows water on the northern side of Greenland’s Dickson Fjord at higher levels than on the southern side on September 17, 2023. A huge rockslide into the fjord the previous day led to a tsunami lasting nine days that caused seismic rumbling around the ...

Frozen Fury: Satellite Captures Unprecedented Tsunami in Greenland Fjord
Nov 2, 2024 — Credit: NASA Earth Observatory. The SWOT satellite captured a tsunami in Greenland’s Dickson Fjord, triggered by a massive rockslide in 2023. Over nine days, the water sloshed dramatically back every 90 seconds due to the fjord’s enclosed structure, demonstrating SWOT’s advanced capabilities in monitoring detailed water levels and aiding ...
A tsunami in a remote fjord rang Earth like a bell for 9 days
Sep 12, 2024 — The seismic waves continued to radiate worldwide for 9 days, ringing Earth like a giant bell. Now, scientists have tracked these mysterious signals to their source—a colossal landslide in a remote Greenland fjord that sparked tsunami waves up to 200 meters tall, the team reports today in Science.

The 650-foot Greenland tsunami and seismic waves that shook …
Sep 13, 2024 — Around 25 million cubic meters of ice, enough to fill 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools, crashed into the Dickson Fjord. The impact unleashed a 650-foot (200-meter) high megatsunami wave, comparable to a 50-story building, roughly the same height as the Washington Tower in Washington, D.C.
