  1. 524 meters


  2. 1,720 feet

  3. Lituya bay which is located in the US state of Alaska recorded a mega tsunami measuring 524 meters or 1720 ft .For comparison, the Empire State Building is 1,472 (448m) feet high including its antenna spire.

  4. The 524m everyone talks about is the highest recorded wave but there have almost certainly been higher; for example, the meteor that impacted the Gulf of Mexico would have created a massive wave.

    More worringly, big, or bigger waves, may happen in the future. Recently, scientists have become concerned that one of the Canary islands may collapse (it is a hollow volcano) with a resulting tidal wave of around 900m

  5. There have been tsunamis in the Alaska area that have been only about 50 feet high, but their speed as sent them up mountains as high as 1,720 feet.
