NBC News

COPALIS BEACH, WASH. — When Japan issued its first-ever “megaquake” warning last week, Harold Tobin, Washington state’s seismologist, was watching carefully. The advisory came after a 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck the southern island of Kyushu. Although that shaking caused little major damage — the biggest tsunami wave it produced would have risen up to your knee — it wasn’t the main worry.

Seismologists measure tremors from distances up to 5000 km away. On September 16, 2023, a massive wave struck a fjord on Greenland’s east coast, leaving evidence of flooding up to 200 meters (650 feet) high in some areas. Researchers, led by Angela Carrillo Ponce from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), have analyzed seismic data from earthquake monitoring stations worldwide and uncovered another remarkable event. The megatsunami triggered a standing wave that oscillated back and forth in the narrow, uninhabited Dickson Fjord for over a week. The international team has published their findings in the journal The Seismic Records.
