In 1737, Cape Lopatka's highest tsunami was recorded at Шаблон:Convert, washing over the peninsula.[1]
Climate
In spite of its temperate latitude, the powerful Oyashio Current on the western flank of the Aleutian Low gives Lopatka a chilly and very wet polar climate that borders extremely closely on subarctic climate (KöppenDfc/ET), for which is just qualifies due to its Шаблон:Convert August means, which in low-lying areas would be expected only at latitudes about 20 degrees or Шаблон:Convert further north. Unlike typical polar climates, however, the winters are only moderately severe and there is no permafrost since the mean annual temperature is around Шаблон:Convert, whilst temperatures have never fallen below Шаблон:Convert. However, the extreme winds make it feel much colder. Summers are mild, but extraordinarily cloudy with annual sunshine hours about 1,050 per year, which is comparable to Reykjavík or the extremely foggy Sichuan Basin. Sunshine is actually most likely in the wettest months of September and October when the heavy rain removes the low-level fog, but clear days are extremely rare at any time of year. As of 2019, this is still yet to result in any high above Шаблон:Convert.
