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.

Hilariously funny that they let the guy known for wandering off without warning to look at birds was allowed to do this

Making your own website is cool and fun! And you can link to your friends' websites, or other cool shit online you find. And you can post swears or adult content and no one can stop you (except your host I guess, but they usually don't care). And hosting is often very cheap or free (if you use something like neocities or GitHub pages).

Ok everyone time for the big question:
