    A looming rock collapse threatens a Swiss village as thawing permafrost destabilizes the Alps

    A massive rock collapse threatens the Swiss village of Kandersteg because thawing permafrost and glaciers are destabilizing mountain slopes in the Alps. Experts note that rising temperatures cause this melting ice to lose its stabilizing 'cement' effect, increasing landslide risks across the region. While local residents monitor the situation closely, experts warn that climate change makes such events more common and potentially devastating.
