It started with a melting glacier, which set off a landslide, which triggered a 650-foot high mega-tsunami in Greenland. Then came something inexplicable.

New research explains what exactly happened a year ago, when large seismic waves from Greenland caused the earth to tremble for nine days and the movement was detected at monitoring stations worldwide — including in Yellowknife.

Although landslide-tsunamis have been recorded before, the one in September 2023 was the first ever seen in east Greenland, an area that had appeared immune to these catastrophic climate change-induced events.

A tsunami stemming from a landslide was behind a surprising seismic event last year that shook the earth for nine days, researchers said.

A massive landslide in Greenland in September 2023 triggered a 200-meter-high tsunami, resulting in a mysterious nine-day seismic signal that puzzled scientists worldwide. A new study, published in Science,
