A wave higher than Taipei 101.

In August 2025, a landslide crashed into Alaska's Tracy Arm fjord and sent water 481 m (1,580 ft) up the opposite mountainside. That's the second-highest tsunami ever recorded. A retreating glacier, heavy rain and thousands of tiny tremors set it up. A tour ship had left about 12 hours earlier.
