          From sunami wiki:
          On 17 June 2017, a landslide measuring 300 m × 1,100 m (980 ft × 3,610 ft) fell about 1 km (3,300 ft) into the Karrat fjord in the Uummannaq area in Western Greenland. The resultant tsunami hit the settlement Nuugaatsiaq killing four people, injuring nine and washing eleven buildings into the water.[98][99] In the beginning the tsunami had a height of 90 m (300 ft), but it was significantly lower once it hit the settlement.[99] Initially it was unclear if the landslide was caused by a small earthquake (magnitude 4),[98] but later it was confirmed that the landslide had caused the tremors.[99]
