    A megatsunami in the Canary Islands would diminish to a normal tsunami by the time it reached the continents. [97] 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 ...

    The tsunami even washed over some of the Shetland Islands. Tsunamite (the deposits left by a tsunami) dating from this event can be found at various locations around the coastal areas of Scotland, and are also a tourist feature in the Montrose Basin , where there is a layer of deposited sand about 0.6 metres (2 ft) thick.
