In the Shadow of an Avalanche!

Picture taken of Stefan during a break in the fracture line snow profile work after the 1000 meter wide and 5 meter deep skier triggered “Shiva” avalanche (Sa 4) in Abisko, Sweden on April 14, 2002. The investigations showed that “Shiva” released on a persistent weak layer of surface hoar, buried almost three months earlier in January. Unpredictable is the nature of the beast.
