Mega-Tsunami in Greenland Triggered by Climate Change Lasted Nine Days
A massive landslide in Dickson Fjord caused a prolonged seismic signal, highlighting the dangers of melting glaciers.
- In September 2023, a seismic event in Greenland's Dickson Fjord created waves up to 650 feet high.
- The landslide involved 33 million cubic yards of rock and ice, equivalent to 25 Empire State Buildings.
- The seismic signal, initially labeled a 'USO,' reverberated globally for nine days.
- The event was linked to the thinning of a glacier due to climate change, destabilizing the fjord's structure.
- Researchers warn that such events may become more frequent as global temperatures rise.
