The Italian Alps are experiencing their deadliest avalanche cycle in over a decade, with 75 fatalities and hundreds evacuated from the Aosta Valley. The media blames the Milano Cortina Olympic crowds and record storms, but the real culprit is hiding beneath the surface: a microscopic thermodynamic failure.
In this video, we bypass the headlines to examine the invisible glaciological physics destroying the alpine snowpack. From the kinetic metamorphism that creates a fragile foundation of depth hoar, to the sheer destructive force of aeolian snow loading, we break down exactly why the mountains surrounding Mont Blanc are shedding snow at a catastrophic rate.
As temperatures rise, the danger is mutating. Discover how free-water percolation is turning the region into an isothermal snowpack, setting the stage for massive wet snow avalanches exactly when tourists think it’s safe to go back out.
