Expedition team to Taan Fiord

In June of 2016, a group of scientists sit around discussing their field plans for mapping and studying a large tsunami deposit in Alaska. On October 17, 2015, after a period of heavy rains, a mountainside near Tyndall Glacier collapsed into Taan Fiord on Icy Bay. The displaced water generated a wave that sheared alders more than 500 feet up on a hillside across from the slide.
