Tsunamis vary hugely in size. A tsunami wave that travels to shore may be as little as 15cm in height when it hits. On the other hand, some tsunamis reach many metres in height, as in the case of the world's highest recorded tsunami.

The tallest tsunami ever recorded was at Lituya Bay, Alaska on 9 July 1958, when the biggest of a series of tsunami waves reached a height of 524 metres, or over half a kilometre, the equivalent of 1,720 feet.
