Explaining The Ocean on Instagram: "This animation breaks down the largest tsunami ever recorded — the 1958 megatsunami in Lituya Bay.

The force was so extreme it stripped trees from mountainsides, reshaped the coastline, and demonstrated how enclosed bays can amplify tsunami energy far beyond what open-ocean waves ever reach.
