Britain suffered one of the most devastating natural disasters in its history, yet most people have never heard of it. Thousands of years ago, a colossal underwater landslide off the coast of Norway triggered a massive tsunami that raced across the North Sea and slammed into the shores of what is now the United Kingdom. Entire coastal landscapes were wiped out, prehistoric communities vanished, and vast areas of land disappeared beneath the waves in a catastrophe known as the Storegga Slide tsunami. Now, new geological evidence and advanced seafloor mapping are helping scientists reconstruct the true scale of the disaster and reveal just how close Britain came to an even greater catastrophe. Join us as we uncover Britain's lost tsunami disaster, explore the evidence hidden beneath the North Sea, and discover how this ancient megawave reshaped the history and geography of the British Isles.
