☆ Fact Check-Tsunami clips show Greenland, not Alaska after July earthquake
  + stars: | 2023-07-19 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
A clip of rising water flowing into a small bay is circulating with the false claim that it shows tsunami water in Alaska after the state was hit with an earthquake in mid-July. Another clip circulating online shows a similar horizon, with wooden cabins being swept away and is also falsely linked to the 2023 Alaska earthquake (here). The same scene was uploaded by the Kalaallit Nunaata Radio (KNR), the national broadcasting organization of Greenland, in June 2017 (bit.ly/40ILeBs). Reuters previously addressed another clip shared online showing the same June 2017 tsunami in Greenland that was falsely attributed to the February Turkey-Syria earthquake (here). The clips pre-date the July 2023 Alaska earthquake and were attributed to a tsunami caused by a 2017 landslide in western Greenland.

A clip of a red wooden cabin being swept away by a storm surge was not filmed following two powerful earthquakes that struck Turkey and northwest Syria on Feb. 6. The clip was filmed in Greenland and shows a tsunami that hit a village in June 2017. Examples of the clip being shared as if it showed the aftermath of the earthquake that hit Turkey on Monday can be viewed (here) and (here). A 7.8 magnitude quake first hit Turkey and northwest Syria before sunrise, followed by a 7.7 magnitude quake in the afternoon (here). The clip was filmed in a village in Greenland and was uploaded to YouTube in April 2021.
