Was there a 650-foot tsunami in Greenland fjord that lasted for 9 days? This is what scientists are saying
About 45 kilometers from the landslide on Ella Island, the tsunami also caused damage to a distant landmark. Waves at least thirteen feet high struck the island, which is frequented by Danish military personnel and scientists. Fortunately, no one was there when the accident happened, even though cruise ships had only been in the region a few days earlier. This seiche lasted longer than any previously documented seiche, as these episodes usually end in a few hours.

A growing problem linked to climate change
While landslide tsunamis are not new, researchers believe they may be occurring more frequently. Landslides and the ensuing tsunamis are becoming increasingly frequent in the Arctic and subarctic due to the acceleration of permafrost erosion and glacier melting caused by climate change. A similar incident in Greenland in 2017 claimed four lives and destroyed multiple dwellings. Scientists are now concerned that as the world heats, more tsunamis may occur and affect vulnerable locations.
