In 2014, a massive tsunami swept a lake in the interior of Iceland, resulting in wave run-up heights of more than 200 feet. This occurred at Lake Askja, which is a lake that formed after a caldera forming eruption in 1875. While this could have been a one-off event, the disappearance of two scientists in 1907 suggests that another tsunami could have occurred during that year. This video discusses how this landslide and tsunami occurred, and if there might be a chance of more such events occurring in the future.

I want to give a special thanks to Dave McGarvie (a scientist), who gave me some insight on this landslide and permission to use several of his photos of the relevant area from before and after the slide occurred!
