A CN Tower-sized mega tsunami, and more…
On the morning of August 10, 2025, a landslide in a fjord along the southern Alaskan coast triggered a mega tsunami. It generated the second highest wave ever recorded that reached up to 481 metres above sea level. A new study suggests that catastrophic events like this are more likely to occur as our climate warms and glaciers melt.
PLUS:
- The hantavirus at the centre of the outbreak struck Argentina in 2018. What did we learn?
- Raccoons enjoy solving puzzles, just for the fun of it
- What animal parents and distant humans can teach us about caregiving
- From the archives: face to face with the man who killed Pluto
- Quirks Question: why do my car windows make a ‘wha wha wha’ sound?
