In September 2023, a mega tsunami in Greenland's Dickson Fjord triggered alarms at global seismograph stations. This event highlights the impacts of climate change.

For about nine days, low-frequency tremors occurred every 92 seconds, affecting the planet from Alaska to Australia. This situation astonished the scientific community.

The source of this tsunami was a massive mass movement triggered by climate change. The occurrence of the tsunami in a narrow fjord initiated a rare phenomenon known as 'seiche.'

Research shows how melting ice sheets in Greenland affect global sea levels. If these ice sheets completely melt, global sea levels could rise by 7.4 meters.

This situation could leave millions of people worldwide facing coastal flooding. The changes in Greenland are also revealing the physical impacts of climate change.
