At some point in the future, a massive portion of a mountainside in Norway will come crashing down into a fjord below, displacing water and generating a towering tsunami. If all 60 million cubic meters of material in this landslide were to crash all at once, it would create a true megatsunami with a maximum run-up height of 100 meters or 328 feet. In such a worst case scenario, more than 15,000 people would be placed at risk. Luckily, the hillside involved in this expected future landslide which is referred to as the Åknes landslide is one of the most monitored slopes in all of Europe. • Thumbnail Photo Credit: Unsplash, stockvault.net, CC0 1.0 license, https://www.stockvault.net/photo/1865....
