Glacier hazards

A major ice avalanche from a hanging glacier on the south flank of Mönch (4099 m), Switzerland. More than 300,000 cubic metres of ice fell, some of it traversing the popular route from Jungfraujoch to the Möchsjochhütte. Nobody was hurt, but these tourists are unknowingly exposing themselves to further potential avalanches. JA
