TA Slide-9869.jpg

South Sawyer glacier in Tracy Arm Alaska a large mass wasting event occurred this week and it was very large. it measured on the Richter scale through out se Alaska. A remote area that is visited often by boat, luckily it was around 5:30 in the morning and nobody was up in the fjord when it happened. A tsunami was created and swept all the way out of the fjord. A group of kayakers had their camp site washed away 25 mile away on Harbor island. will show more shots later this week. The height of the rock face that let go is around 4000 feet elevation. In the lower right is the Sawyer glacier. It crushed a major portion of the glacier releasing 1000's. of icebergs into the fjord. An Amazing event .
