We are really sorry to let you know that UCL Open Days on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 June 2026 have been cancelled.

Following updated forecasts and extreme heat guidance for London, we’ve made the difficult decision not to proceed with the events as planned. The safety and wellbeing of our visitors, students and staff is our top priority, and we’re very sorry for the disappointment.

Please do not travel to campus for these events.

We will share further information on alternative opportunities to explore UCL with registered attendees soon.

2nd huge #tsunami caused by #ClimateChange in 2 years - the side of a mountain slid into an Alaskan #fjord last August, producing a tsunami 481 metres high, the 2nd highest ever recorded, according to a study involving Dr @seismo-steve.bsky.social (@es-ucl.bsky.social): www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2026/ma...

Oblique aerial photo of the 10 August 2025 landslide taken from across the fjord during a U.S. Geological Survey field reconnaissance overflight on 13 August, 2025. Note the trimline along the far side of the fjord, caused by the tsunami stripping the walls of vegetations. View direction is approximately north. Photo by Cyrus Read/U.S. Geological Survey.

Oblique aerial photo of the landslide and the highest run-up resulting from the landslide-triggered tsunami in Tracy Arm during a U.S. Geological Survey field reconnaissance overflight. View direction is approximately south. Photo by John Lyons/U.S. Geological Survey.

Before and after satellite imagery showing locations and extent of the August 10, 2025 landslide. South Sawyer Glacier terminus positions since 1979 and the locations of three precursory slope failures since 2017 are also shown. In panel B, the white line indicates the main landslide, while the dashed yellow delineates the additional landslide-affected area. The pink line indicates the area of landslide deposition on top of the glacier. Coloured dots (which are close enough together that they look like a line) represent the tsunami runup.
