Research identifies 2025 Alaskan megatsunami as one of the largest recorded

Geological surveys of Tracy Arm and South Sawyer Glacier show that a massive landslide‑triggered tsunami struck Alaska in 2025, leaving a scar and displaced vegetation visible in aerial imagery. The event ranks among the largest tsunamis on record and provides new data for assessing future megatsunami risks in glaciated coastal zones.
