Hochvogel mountain faces risk of major rock collapse
Original: Hochvogel mountain at risk of major collapse as 400,000 cubic metres of rock threatens to break away https://www. eurone
A mass of around 400,000 cubic metres of rock on the Hochvogel mountain in the Alps is threatening to break away, raising fears of a major collapse. Observers are linking the instability to climate change, as thawing and shifting rock destabilise high-alpine peaks, and attention is turning to the risks for nearby communities and hikers.
Why now: New warnings about a huge unstable rock mass on a well-known Alpine peak have raised fears of a potentially catastrophic collapse linked to climate change.
