Original Note:
This mischaracterizes tsunamis as waves towering to said heights and mixes run-up vs wave height for most examples above 40m. Visible waves of tsunamis do not typically exceed 30m, and while Lituya Bay was slight taller, 524m is just the highest point water reached on land. https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/tsunami-terms https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/biggest-waves-recorded-history-180952432/
