This website, from NASA, offers an article, images, and a video about the connection between the 2011 tsunami off the coast of Japan and a large ice calving event in Antarctica. Scientists observed ice calving soon after the Japan event and attributed it to the swell caused by the tsunami; this finding marks the first direct observation of such a connection between tsunamis and icebergs.
