Alaska landslide and glacier retreat produce a measured tsunami 1,580 feet high

A 1,580-foot wave, nearly three times the height of the Space Needle, surged up an Alaskan mountainside hours after tourists departed, marking the second-largest tsunami ever measured. The trigger was a landslide, but the warning signs were already written in the landscape: rapid glacier retreat, heavy rainfall, and thousands of small seismic tremors. This is empirical evidence that melting ice destabilizes more than sea levels. As glaciers withdraw, mountainous coasts face a growing, measurable risk. Understanding drives protection.
