A team of scientists including experts from the University of California in San Diego, claimed a climate-induced landslide triggered 650ft (198 meters) tsunami in Greenland.
The study, published in Science Journal, said the catastrophic event in Dickson Fjord in September last year began when rising temperatures melted a glacier, destabilising more than 25 million cubic meters of rock and ice, equivalent to filling 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
