what was the largest tsunami
The largest historic tsunami happened in 1958 when a landslide fell into a fjord in Lituya Bay in Alaska, he says. That one generated a wave 30 metres high.. That mega-tsunami claimed only five lives because of the remoteness of the area, and is legendary because of the freak survival of a father and son fishing. Their boat was carried up and over land and forest and deposited unharmed in the ocean on the other side. ^ to top.
