Landslide in 1965
On February 19, 1965, six to ten million cubic meters of ice and rock loosened and slid 7.5 kilometers down into Lago Caprera . At the western end of the lake, a tsunami wave of more than 25 meters formed, which destroyed a settlement and claimed 27 lives. Researchers assume that such an event repeats about every 100 years and that global warming will intensify it.
