The Nome nugget., 1954-03-29
Biologists Have No Explanation
For AOO-ft. Flood Waves Which
Swept Lituya Bay In Sc. Alaska

levels show clearly in Miller's
pictures.
There was one eyewitness to
the 1886 cataclysm, Jim Huncroft,
a prospector. He was living on
an island well down the bay. He
told later Of hearing a tremen-
dous roar at the bayhead and of
seeing a water wall coming down
on the island. He escaped by
climbing. The wave was only %
feet high by the time it reached
the island.
Theories have been advanced
that the flood waves were caused
by the sudden release of a whole
lake full Of water which had been
damned up by ice at the bayhead.
The geological evidence does
not support this, Miller said. He
added that he is inclined to be-
lieve that either a huge glacier
fell into the bay or that the bay
head was suddenly lifted by an
earthquake.
GeGlogists still are looking for
a good explanation Of the event,
he reported.
