Greenland landslide causes 9-day earthquake-like tremors: Study

Scientists traced an unusual seismic signal from last September to a significant landslide in East Greenland's Dickson Fjord. The collapse of a mountain sent part of a glacier into the water, causing a 200-meter-high mega-tsunami that lasted nine days. This incident highlights the influence of climate change on geological phenomena.
