On 20 May, over a million tonnes of dirt and rock buried part of California’s Highway 1 along the Pacific coastline in the state’s Big Sur region. In addition to cutting off the route, the landslide added some 5 hectares of land to the shoreline.
Copernicus EU Sentinel-1’s radar shows that the ground that slid down the mountain was moving in the two years before the landslide. Click on the link to get the whole picture.
