1958年
リツヤ湾大津波: アラスカ州のリツヤ湾で高さ524メートルの観測史上最大の津波を観測。
A record-breaking megatsunami reached 524 meters in height at Lituya Bay, Alaska, the largest wave ever recorded.
On July 9, 1958, a massive earthquake triggered a rockfall in Alaska’s Lituya Bay, generating a megatsunami.
The wave reached an astonishing height of 524 meters, stripping vegetation from hillsides in its path.
Witnesses aboard fishing boats recorded the event, providing unique photographic evidence.
Though the remote area limited human casualties, two fishermen lost their lives in the harbour.
The Lituya Bay megatsunami remains the tallest tsunami documented in modern history.
