On September 16th, 2023 at 12:35 UTC, a 25.5 × 10 ^ 6 m 3 (33.4 × 10 ^ 6 cu yd) rockslide occurred on the slope of Dickson Fjord in Northeast Greenland. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The rockslide impacted a gully glacier, leading to a rock and ice avalanche that entered the fjord causing a tsunami up to 200-metre-high (660 ft) tsunami and subsequent waves up ...
In 1930 Norwegian ship Veslekari reached the head of Dickson Fjord and recorded a sounding of 568.75 m (1,866.0 ft), but sudden shoaling prevented the ship from anchoring. [4] On 16 September 2023, a significant landslide, consisting primarily of ice and rock, occurred in Dickson Fjord, triggering a 200-meter-high tsunami.
A 650-foot tsunami in Greenland was the result of melting glacial ice that caused a landslide. The waves it created bounced back and forth for nine days.
The landslide, which took place last year in September, triggered a massive tsunami in Dickson Fjord, creating puzzling tremors and a planet-wide “hum”, scientists said.
It started with a melting glacier that set off a landslide, which triggered a tsunami. Then the Earth began to shake A landslide triggered a 650-foot mega-tsunami in Greenland.
Because this is a recently deglaciated fjord with steep slopes and crossed by a major fault (the Fairweather Fault), one possibility was that this wave was a landslide-generated tsunami. [ 17 ] On 9 July 1958, a 7.8 M w strike-slip earthquake in southeast Alaska caused 80,000,000 metric tons (90,000,000 short tons) of rock and ice to drop into ...
A tsunami stemming from a landslide was behind a surprising seismic event last year that shook the earth for nine days, researchers said. Mysterious 9-day seismic event triggered by 650-foot ...
Prior to January 2013, KNR1 also featured programming from Danish television networks DR and TV 2 but when several of DR's channels were made free-to-air in Greenland, KNR decided to focus on original Greenlandic programming. [3] On 21 June 2020, both KNR1 and KNR2 switched to 720p HD resolution. [4]
