The Sofia News Agency carried a report and picture yesterday<\/a> of a landslide on the coast near to Kranevo on the Black Sea in Bulgaria.\u00a0 The image is shown below:<\/p>\n

The commentary in the article states:<\/p>\n

“The strip covered by the landslide is about 2 km, while the fishermen village near the shoreline is the most affected. The road leading to the water is completely destroyed with some of the fishermen trailers buried by the land mass.\u00a0 Eight people have been temporarily blocked, but have already managed to leave. No one has been injured.\u00a0 The landslide was activated Sunday, bringing down huge land mass that inflicted serious damage. A 100-year-old lighthouse has been fully destroyed along with damages to several nearby vacation homes, and several stranded automobiles.”<\/p>\n

Wikipedia reports<\/a> that there is a lighthouse 3 km south of Kranevo at Cape Ekrene.\u00a0 This implies that the stretch of coast affected is the one shown in the Google Earth image below, although it is not clear where the landslide is located within this area:<\/p>\n

The landslide itself is quite interesting, even though the image does not show most of it.\u00a0 The Buildings and trees have been rotated to lean inland, suggesting a rotational landslide\u00a0 Note that the sea floor has also been pushed up out of the water by the same process.<\/p>\n
