AVALANCHES 2000

PART II

Avalanches can be very dangerous. And there is no other way to protect oneself than to be very careful and cautious.

You can tell by experience and knowledge when and where the risk increases. But you can never tell excactly when it happens.

And the power of the snow is enormous - houses and cars are blown to pieces if they are in the wrong place.

Last winter we have had quite a few avalanches in Jostedalen.

These two pages of pictures show you some of them. Click on these small pictures to see larger versions.
