Amazing video shows a bluff slope failure

The cliff is located near a narrow beach, along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, so large waves from the sea reach the slope often and weaken the bluff.

The top of the cliff consists of glacial drift-sediment and pre glacial alluvial sands and silts. The height of the collapsed section is the cause of the slide’s volume which is captured in the video. Similar slides have occurred in the wider area due to the increased erosion rate.

See the failure in the embedded video under ''Media'' below this article.
