Animation of the Tafjord tsunami in 1934

The animation shows a back-calculation of the Tafjord tsunami on the 7th of April 1934. The rock slide volume was about 3.0 million cubic meters including the mobilized screen below (1.5 million cubic meters). The tsunami height (run-up) close to the slide area was above 60 m and up to 15 m in the small village of Tafjord 6 km southeast.
In the animation, Tafjord is marked with a red rectangle in the left panel with run-up calculations in the right panel. Totally 41 persons were killed by the tsunami.
