The Biggest Wave of All Time | Simulation of the 1958 Lituya Bay Mega-Tsunami

On July 9, 1958, a mega-tsunami created the biggest wave ever recorded at Lituya Bay in Alaska.

The largest tsunami of modern times produced a massive wave that measured 1,720 feet.

Researchers from Universidad de Málaga in Spain created a simulation of the 1958 Lituya Bay mega-tsunami.

Based on public domain topo-bathymetric data and on information extracted from the work of Miller (1960), an approximation of Gilbert Inlet topo-bathymetry was set up and used for the numerical simulation of the mega-event.

The resulting numerical simulation is one of the first successful attempts - if not the first - at numerically reproducing, in detail, the main features of this event in a realistic 3-D basin geometry, where no smoothing or other stabilizing factors in the bathymetric data are applied.
