🇨🇭 BLATTEN AFTER GLACIER COLLAPSE: AERIAL FOOTAGE REVEALS EXTENT OF DAMAGE

🚨 The commune of Blatten, in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, remains in a disaster zone following the massive Birch Glacier collapse that occurred on May 27–28, 2025.

📹 New aerial footage captures the scale of destruction — huge volumes of ice, snow, and rock have swept across the area near the village. Some protective dams were breached, and structural damage to buildings is likely.

‼️ The volume of the collapse exceeded 3.5 million m³, exerting an estimated 9 million tons of pressure. Around 300 residents were evacuated ahead of time. Return to the village is still not permitted.

⚠️ Experts warn of a high risk of further collapses, as the glacier continues moving at a speed of up to 10 meters per day. The threat of partial burial of Blatten remains real.

🌍 The incident underscores the growing risks associated with climate change and glacial melt. Urgent scientific cooperation and international attention are essential to understanding and addressing these escalating natural threats.
