A gigantic glacier root, which buries a whole valley and makes a threatening reservoir – what is currently happening in the disaster area in the Lötschental in the Swiss canton Valais is hard to understand. And above all the question arises: is there such a thing here with us, in Austria? We look at the situation.
The inhabitants of the Swiss village of Blatten had been worn since the middle of May, on 28 May it was so far: rocky masses that had become unstable, dived into the birch glacier that broke off. The result: a huge stream of rock and mud rolled over the village and caused an artificial reservoir that threatens to overcome. So there is still not all -clear for the Swiss.
