Marmot Pass In The Olympics.

To elaborate on the "pretty sure" part:

The Lituya Bay 1958 wave measurement is a little wacky because the 1750 foot height is the height of the trimline where trees were removed opposite the landslide. That's a measure of runup, where water gets pushed higher up the slope by momentum than the actual wave crest, which was probably more like 490 feet tall (still bonkers)!

So it's possible the Greenland wave is actually taller if they're measuring the wave height, but I'm guessing the quoted number is probably also a runup measurement based on trimlines or other evidence which likely puts the Greenland wave in second place. But also it's kind of a nitpick because like, it doesn't matter if the wave in open water is lower if you'd still have to vertically evacuate almost 1/3rd of a mile to get out of the way!

A landslide in Greenland created a 650 foot megatsunami and the wave made a seiche in the fjord that lasted for 9 days! The seiche created a mystery seismic signal detected worldwide.

I'm pretty sure that's the second largest wave recorded in history behind Lituya Bay (depending on how you measure stuff). That's taller than the space needle!

It seems like the slide may have been destabilized by glacier melt due to accelerating warming in Greenland.

This is exactly why I made my own website(s). They're .005% as polished as a social media profile but the only limits to what I can create are my own skills and imagination. It loads in a tiny fraction of a second because it's pure HTML. You can also get your friends in on it and make a little web ring! The old web isn't dead yet, if anything it's having a bit of a renaissance with places like neocities.

if i had three wishes they would all be to make web 2.0 utterly illegal and go back to normal html
