研究人员警告密尔福德湾山崩可能会引发一场致命的海啸,对游客构成严重威胁。 Researchers warn a landslide at Milford Sound could trigger a deadly tsunami, posing a grave threat to tourists.

研究者警告说,新西兰密尔福德湾的滑坡可能引发波浪高达17米高的海啸,可能导致数百艘游船死亡和沉没,使海啸的破坏力远远超过2019年白岛火山爆发。 Researchers warn that a landslide at New Zealand's Milford Sound could cause a tsunami with waves up to 17 meters high, potentially killing hundreds and sinking cruise ships, making it far more devastating than the 2019 White Island eruption. 地震发生后只有大约七分钟的警告,撤离几乎是不可能的。 With only about seven minutes of warning after an earthquake, evacuation would be nearly impossible. 研究建议将每年来访者减少到大约1 000人,以减少风险,但这可能影响教科文组织遗产地点的旅游业。 The study suggests reducing annual visitors to about 1,000 to mitigate risks, but this could impact the UNESCO heritage site's tourism.
