A 1,500-foot tsunami triggered by a glacier-induced landslide in Alaska's Tracy Arm on August 10, 2025, killed no one only because a tour boat had anchored elsewhere due to bad weather. Scientists discovered that subtle seismic signals preceded the collapse by at least 24 hours, offering potential for early warning systems to protect coastal communities as climate change accelerates glacier retreat.
