This is more or less a thought experiment.

On this blog some many years ago I wrote that if Antarctica became unstable there is a good chance a large amount of ice would slide into the sea and cause tsunamis. We have all had some knowledge of tsunamis and they are a very serious thing.

In modern history of the past decades, people have witnessed some of the worst tsunamis known. The Indian Ocean tsunami called "The Christmas Tsunami." (click here) It occurred the day after Christmas in 2004. It was caused by an earthquake so strong it changed the tilt of Earth.

Then in 2011 the Japanese Tsunami after a 9.0 earthquake (click here). This was the Pacific Ocean. 

Recently there have been strange reports of ocean animals found about 50 feet inland without a clear understanding as to how they got there.

An enormous hoodwinker sunfish, (click here) also known as Mola tecta, mysteriously washed up on a California beach over 10,000 kilometres from its usual habitat off the coast of New Zealand.

Weighing up to two-tons and two metres in length, the rarely spotted Mola tecta are thought to be the world's largest bony fish....

The date of the death of the Humpback Whale below is not yet determined. But, it was found nearly 45 feet inland from any waterways. There is no evidence this enormous mammal was dragged inland either.

This is complete speculation, however, what if there was a sizeable tsunami due to ice shelf degradation and ice fall into the Antarctica waters. It could carry large animals a distance and then flood the coastal lands and deposit them inland. Now, I have no evidence as of yet that points in that direction, but, it is possible and should be investigated.

I found it very odd that in opposite oceans large animals were found inland as if there was a big splash coming up from Antarctica. It could go undetected. I know that doesn't sound reasonable, but, Antarctica has no buoys to detect such things and the coastal waters where these animals were found do not have homes or roads where people would observe such rising of water.

A sunfish is a surface dweller. So are humpbacks. I find it odd there should be two mysteries about the same time of animals about the same size and weight.

A dead humpback whale (click here) is baffling researchers after it was found in Brazil’s Amazon jungle, near the mouth of the Amazon River.

The whale was found approximately 15 metres from the shore of Araruna Beach along the Marajó Bay in Soure, Brazil. Local authorities say spotting a whale in the region at this time of year is quite rare.

According to the Brazilian non-profit environmental group Bicho D’água, the 10-ton whale was eight metres long. But local officials said it was slightly larger, estimating it was 11 metres long....
