The massive landslide in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska, buried an entire valley in the park. The reason was because of a 3.4 magnitude earth quake. It effected tourists visiting the park by burying one of the valleys beneath the 11,750-foot Lituya Mountain. It was in the Fairweather Range about six miles from the border of British Columbia. It doesn't say that they did anything to fix it so I don't know how much the damage cost, but the picture looks like the mud didn't hit anything major so they might not have done anything to fix it.

Landslides
