After Glacier Crash in Switzerland: Water Drains

The Lötschental has escaped a further catastrophe for the time being. The previously stumped mountain river Lonza has paved its way into the valley. A feared tidal wave has failed – but the prediction of the race is a concern for the leadership staff.

After the glacial collapse in Switzerland, the risk of a tidal wave is reduced. Water flows out of the lake behind the rubble cone. An uncontrolled breakthrough is therefore more unlikely - yet caution is required.

The Swiss authorities give careful warning after the glacier break down in the Lötschental. The water of the river Lonza drains on a large scale. A deeper reservoir had been emptied before.

Careful warning after the massive glacial collapse in Switzerland: The danger of a flood disaster further down in the valley seems initially banished.

After the gigantic glacier break-down in Switzerland, there is a cautious respiration: at least the danger of a flood disaster seems to be banned further down in the valley.

After the massive glacial collapse on Wednesday in the Swiss Lötschental, the situation on site seems to stabilize somewhat. The accumulated mountain river has sought new paths into the valley. A feared tidal wave stayed out for the time being, but further rock falls are still possible. In addition, rain showers could be used on Sunday.
