English: Lituya Bay a few weeks after the 1958 tsunami. The areas of destroyed forest along the shorelines are clearly recognizable as the light areas rimming the bay. A fishing boat anchored in the cove at lower left was carried over the spit in the foreground; a boat under way near the entrance was sunk; and a third boat, anchored near the lower right, rode out the wave. RED arrow indicates the location of the fall, and YELLOW arrow indicates the high point of the wave as it overran the headland. Photo by D.J. Miller, United States Geological Survey.
