On the morning of August 10, 2025, a massive landslide struck Alaska’s Tracy Arm fjord, a popular destination for many cruise lines. The landslide triggered a 1,578-foot-tall (481-meter-tall) mega-tsunami that would have devastated any passing ships. Fortunately, none were present at that early hour, but future vessels may not be so lucky.

A University of Alaska Fairbanks study focusing on the Deshka River found that the predators have become even more voracious as the climate has warmed.

Southern Alaska’s winter finale delivered a spectacular atmospheric display, captured by a NASA satellite. Cold Arctic air flowing over warmer ocean waters created long bands of clouds, swirling vortex patterns,

Not all earthquake faults behave the same. Some stick and snap, causing earthquakes. Others move slowly over time.

Blake Gettys, a retired U.S. Air Force brigadier general, will run for lieutenant governor alongside Republican gubernatorial candidate Shelley Hughes, the duo announced Thursday in Anchorage.

Researchers say 481-metre wave in fjord was triggered by rockslide linked to climate crisis

Landslides are common in the coastal mountains of Alaska where rapid uplift, caused by tectonic forces and long-term ice loss, converges with the erosive forces of precipitation and moving glaciers. But a curious pattern has emerged in recent years: Multiple major landslides have occurred precisely at the terminus of a retreating glacier.

The world’s second-tallest tsunami wave on record tore through the remote Tracy Arm fjord in Alaska last August, leaving immense destruction in its wake.
