Not sure who this guy is, I’m missing it on his channel description, but he seems well informed and brings together many of the observations that I have heard from other observers.
Description:
Over the past week, rock slides have loaded a glacier above the Swiss village of Blatten with a large overburden of rock debris, destabilizing the glacier under the weight. A larger mass of rock adjacent to the rock slides has also shifted, indicating large-scale instability that could send a huge volume of rock and ice into the valley below, threatening the village of Blatten. This video talks about where the slide is happening, why it is happening, and how glacially-sculpted landscapes can be quite unstable.
What I’ve only seen once and haven’t found since is the entire ridgeline is at risk, that this collapse could be the lynchpin for a much larger collapse of everything to the right of his yellow triangle. I haven’t anything connected to my pet peeve: what happens when we move the weight of the water in the glaciers from the mountaintops to the seafloor? But I have seen a couple reports of the permafrost melting “loosening to concrete” holding it all in place; we don’t tend to think of permafrost outside of the Arctic
