- Legenda: Blatten (Switzerland), 05/06/2025.- A general view after a massive avalanche, triggered by the collapse of the Birch Glacier, shows the destruction it caused as it swept down to the valley floor and demolished the village of Blatten (top) next to the village of Wiler (C), and the village of Kippel (bottom), Switzerland, 05 June 2025. A large part of the village of Blatten, located in the Loetschental Valley in the canton of Valais, was buried under masses of ice, mud and rocks. Numerous houses were destroyed, and one person remains missing. Between 19 and 28 May, several million cubic meters of rock fell from the Kleines Nesthorn mountain above Blatten. This created a nine-million-tonne debris cone on the Birch Glacier, which ultimately collapsed on 28 May 2025.
