List of landslides

Frank Slide, Turtle Mountain, Alberta, Canada

This list of landslides is a list of notable landslides and mudflows divided into sections by date and type. This list may be incomplete as there is no central catalogue for landslides, although it does exist for some for individual countries or areas. Volumes of landslides are recorded in the scientific literature using cubic kilometres (km3) for the largest and millions of cubic metres (MCM) for most events.

Between ~8020 and ~6520 BCE Sullorsuaq Strait, Greenland Various Seven very large tsunamigenic landslides struck Sullorsuaq Strait over this 1,500-year period, some from the southern coast of the Nuussuaq Peninsula and others from the northern coast of Disko Island.

21 November 2000 Paatuut, Greenland 90,000,000 m3 (120,000,000 cu yd) 0 260,000,000 tons of rock fell from an elevation of 1,000 to 1,400 metres (3,300 to 4,600 ft) reaching a speed of 140 kilometres per hour (87 mph). The event registered as a magnitude 2.3 seismic event. About 30,000,000 m3 (39,000,000 cu yd) of material with a mass of 87,000,000 tons entered Sullorsuaq Strait (known in Danish as Vaigat Strait), generating a megatsunami. The wave had a run-up height of 50 metres (164 ft) near the landslide and 28 metres (92 ft) at Qullissat, the site of an abandoned settlement across the strait on Disko Island, 20 kilometres (11 nmi; 12 mi) away. Refracted energy from the tsunami created a wave with a run-up height of 3 metres (9.8 ft) that destroyed boats at the closest populated village, Saqqaq, 40 kilometres (25 mi) from the landslide. [220]
28 November 2020 Elliot Creek, British Columbia Canada 18,000,000 m3 (24,000,000 cu yd) 0 Unseasonably heavy rainfall triggered a landslide into a glacial lake at the head of Elliot Creek, generating a magnitude 5.0 earthquake and a 100 m (330 ft) high megatsunami that rushed down Elliot Creek and the Southgate River to the head of Bute Inlet, covering a total distance of over 60 km (37 mi). The wave destroyed over 8.5 km (5.3 mi) of salmon habitat along Elliot Creek. [221]
