## Resource

In August 2021, a colossal rock wall collapse in Tracy Arm, Alaska, triggered a megatsunami, ranking as the second-highest run-up on record. Despite no earthquake, the event shook the ground like a magnitude 5.4 quake. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but tourism has been significantly impacted. Officials warn of rising risks from climate-driven slides, while early warning systems are being enhanced to keep visitors safe.
