The Corfu slide is a geologic feature located on the north slope of the Saddle Mountains near the Columbia river in eastern Washington. It covers aproximately 13 square kilometers and contains a volume of material of about 1 cubic kilometer. It is thought to have occured 13,000 to 15,000 years ago during the Missoula Floods associated with the retreat of glaicers during the last ice age.
