College Fjord, Alaska, USA. The epicenter of the 1964 Alaska Earthquake, one of the largest recorded anywhere, was near this point of land, aproaching the entrance to College Fjord. The moment magnitude was 9.2, unleashing 220-foot high tsunamis, and changed some land elevations up or down by as much as thirty feet in the region. Today, the view is tranquil, with steep mountain slopes rising from the shores of the channel filled with glacial water tinted by the silt. Enjoy!
