The landslide modelled by Ward and Day 2001 may be implausibly thick given the known volumes of Canary Islands mega-landslides, and collapses may have occurred in multiple steps rather than a single failure [123] [7] or may have a smaller volume. [124]

A megatsunami in the Canary Islands would diminish to a normal tsunami by the time it reached the continents. [99] Also, the current consensus for La Palma is that the region conjectured to collapse is too small and too geologically stable to do so in the next 10,000 years, although there is evidence for past megatsunamis local to the Canary ...
