It's pretty incredible that a 110-meter high tsunami happened and the only reason anyone noticed was a former employee saw that one of the abandoned SIRIUS research stations was swept away, after their cruise ship ran aground at the mouth of the fjord [1] the day after.
They probably would have figured it out from the seismic data eventually, but the tsunami was identified within a week in one of the remotest places on earth because of some random pleasure cruise.
