A disaster is looming. 250,000 tons of ice are sliding towards a Swiss village

The small alpine village of Randa, with 450 residents, is on high alert due to a large ice block showing increasing movement. Local authorities have established closed zones and are prepared for potential evacuation. The ice block is moving downwards at a rate of 20 centimeters per day, raising concerns about heavy snowfall that could trigger dangerous avalanches. Experts warn that if the ice block detaches, it could lead to a chain reaction of avalanches in the valley. Fortunately, the likelihood of the worst-case scenario is low, as extreme avalanche conditions occur in less than 5% of winter days. Monitoring continues closely.
