Alaska Tracy Arm Fjord Megatsunami of August 2025 Confirmed as Near‑Record Event Linked to Glacier Melt
Overview
Initial reports described a 481‑metre megatsunami that struck Tracy Arm Fjord on 10 August 2025, attributing the wave to a massive landslide and rapid glacier retreat. Within a day, the wave height was updated to 482 metres, reinforcing its status as the second‑largest ever recorded. Subsequent analyses cited slightly varied run‑up heights of 480 metres and 481 metres, all consistent with a mountain collapse that displaced roughly 64 million cubic metres of rock. A related flash‑flood incident swept a campsite and a kayaker offshore, underscoring the event’s broader impact. Throughout the week, scientists repeatedly linked the disaster to accelerating glacier melt and climate change, while noting that tourists narrowly escaped harm.
