Swiss village threatened by ice block of 250 million kilos slowly sliding down the mountain
In Randa, a village of about 450 residents, a massive ice block is sliding down the Weisshorn glacier, posing avalanche risks. Experts report the block moves approximately 20 centimeters daily, with significant snowfall expected soon. Authorities issued a level three warning, restricting access to certain areas. The ice block has shown increased activity since August, and residents are regularly updated on the situation. Randa has a history of glacier-related incidents, including past avalanches that destroyed buildings and livestock, reminiscent of last year's avalanche in Blatten.
