Hear about a landslide that created a big tsunami in the last decade – and a surprising fact about it.
Can something like what happened in Lituya Bay happen in Southcentral Alaska? This episode is the second part of the latest Fault in the Facts segment. It continues talking about Alaska’s landslide hazards and focuses on the Barry Arm landslide, which is looming over the deep waters of Prince William Sound.

In this episode, hear from the people of Whittier, a coastal town that could see impacts from the tsunami, plus we explain the peculiar way the landslide was found.
