On September 16, 2023, a massive landslide occurred in Dickson Fjord, northeastern Greenland. It was triggered by a series of factors. Greenland, being highly sensitive to rising temperatures, has experienced accelerated glacial retreat and destabilization in recent years, making landslides more frequent and severe.
A 650-foot tsunami in Greenland was the result of melting glacial ice that caused a landslide. The waves it created bounced back and forth for nine days. ... deep Dickson Fjord. That displaced a ...

The landslide, which took place last year in September, triggered a massive tsunami in Dickson Fjord, creating puzzling tremors and a planet-wide “hum”, scientists said.
On 16 September 2023 a large landslide originating 300–400 m (980–1,310 ft) above sea level entered Dickson Fjord, triggering a tsunami exceeding 200 m (660 ft) in run-up. Run-up of 60 m (200 ft) was observed along a 10 km (6.2 mi) stretch of coast.
On 16 September 2023, a significant landslide, consisting primarily of ice and rock, occurred in Dickson Fjord, triggering a 200-meter-high tsunami. However, the tsunami was not immediately observed due to a seiche formation. A seiche is a standing wave oscillating back and forth within a confined body of water, such as a fjord.
A tsunami stemming from a landslide was behind a surprising seismic event last year that shook the earth for nine days, researchers said. Mysterious 9-day seismic event triggered by 650-foot ...
On 16 September 2023 a large landslide originating 300–400 m (980–1,310 ft) above sea level entered Dickson Fjord, triggering a megatsunami exceeding 200 m (660 ft) in run-up. Run-up of 60 m (200 ft) was observed along a 10 km (6.2 mi) stretch of coast forming a seiche oscillation that decayed over a period of 9 days. [211] [212] 2024 Japan
