🌊 *Alerta en los fiordos: un #megatsunami de 481 metros en #Alaska revela un riesgo letal para los cruceros turísticos.* Los científicos avisan de que fue una cuestión de suerte que tras la avalancha de agosto de 2025 no ocurriera una tragedia. El suceso, que han analizado con todo detalle, se debe en buena parte al #cambioclimático

"Massive Alaska megatsunami was second largest ever recorded
A massive 'megatsunami' wave created when part of an Alaskan mountain crumbled into the sea is the second tallest ever recorded – and a reminder of the risks posed by melting glaciers, say scientists.
Last summer a giant wave swept through a remote fjord in southeast Alaska leaving destruction in its wake.
The event went largely unreported at the time, but a new scientific analysis shows it was caused by a massive landslide.
An incredible 64 million cubic metres of rock – the equivalent of 24 Great Pyramids - splashed into the water below. The sheer power of that amount of rock plunging into the fjord in under a minute created a gigantic wave almost 500 metres tall.
Only the time it happened – in the early hours of the morning – prevented tourist cruise ships being caught up in the devastation, say the researchers."
Alaska Fjord Racked by Colossal Wave: Second Highest Ever Recorded
A 500-meter wave hit Alaska's Tracy Arm Fjord last summer due to a landslide. Cruise ships may stop visits. Learn about the dangers.

In 1958, a mountainside collapsed into Alaska’s Lituya Bay, unleashing the tallest wave ever recorded on Earth — a 524-meter (1,720 ft) wall of water. This mega-tsunami defied everything we thought we knew about natural disasters. Here's the full story of the wave that erased a mountainside, hurled boats like toys, and warned us that it could all happen again.
