The Tracy Arm Tsunami Experience

Explore Tracy Arm in Southeast Alaska and experience a massive landslide-generated tsunami from multiple perspectives. Travel across the fjord by foot, ATV, air, or jet ski, move between curated observation points, and trigger the event when you are ready.

Once the sequence begins, the landscape comes alive with synchronized landslide motion, tsunami water, floating glacier ice, mist, falling trees, and environmental audio. Discovery markers throughout the world highlight notable impact locations, including maximum runup, deep flow zones, glacier damage, and visible flow direction on the mountainsides.

Optional landmark-scale references help place the event in perspective, allowing you to compare the scale of the terrain and tsunami effects against structures such as the Eiffel Tower and Burj Khalifa. The result is a first-person simulation focused on observation, scale, and the dynamics of a major natural hazard event.

Features:

• Explore Tracy Arm in first person across four transport modes: running, ATV, flying, and jet ski

• Trigger a synchronized landslide-and-tsunami event instead of watching a fixed cutscene

• Move between curated land and water viewpoints using the in-game minimap

• Witness floating ice, falling trees, mist, and environmental audio tied to the event

• Discover key impact locations marked with in-world points of interest

• Compare the event scale against landmark references

The landslide and tsunami are rendered using the physics-based modeling results presented in this popular article from Science Magazine, "A 481-meter-high landslide-tsunami in a cruise ship–frequented Alaska fjord":
