Lituya Bay
Lituya Bay, located on the outer coast of Glacier Bay, is the center of a major fault line. Geological records and native oral history confirm that about twice each century, an event has taken place that created abnormal waves within Lituya Bay. On July 10, 1958, an earthquake caused a landslide and sudden glacial surge, creating the highest tsunami ever recorded on earth. The wave that swept the 9 mile long bay sheered the trees off the nearest mountain to an elevation of 1,720 feet! This sheer line is still very evident today.
