The slowest tsunami recorded was the 1958 Lituya Bay tsunami in Alaska, which traveled at a speed of approximately 15 miles per hour (24 kilometers per hour). Triggered by an earthquake that caused a massive landslide into the bay, it produced a wave that reached a height of 1,720 feet (524 meters). This unique event is notable not only for its height but also for its relatively slow speed compared to typical tsunamis, which can exceed 500 miles per hour (800 kilometers per hour) in open water.
