In Norway a skier was buried by an avalanche and saved seven hours later. “I was very surprised that he was still alive,” said dog trainer Kristian Midtgard, who found the man with his search dog whiskey.
“All statistics and experience say that this is not possible if you are buried for so long,” he said. As the Norwegian media reported on Wednesday, the tourist in Lyngen was stuck under a layer of snow of approximately 1.5 meters. He was in a cavity in the snow, who apparently saved his life.
According to the reports, he could call the police himself. The survivor was part of a group of three foreign tourists who drove ski despite an avalanche warning in the area. Another skier was also caught by the avalanche and landed in a fjord. He managed to get back ashore. A ski director of the group is still missing.

“Sick up within ten minutes”
People who survived and buried an avalanche under snow “usually choke within ten minutes,” said Avalanche researcher Audun Hetland of the Norwegian newspaper Itromso. “Some survive longer. Lyngens mayor Erik Larsen also spoke about a” miracle “.
