> After a landslide on the Kleine Nesthorn in the Swiss canton of Valais, millions of cubic metres of debris landed on a glacier, which gave way to the immense weight. The massive glacier collapse buried the Valais village of Blatten in the Lötschental valley. The inhabitants were evacuated in time.

Mud and rock bury Swiss village after glacier collapse, one person missing

"Buildings and infrastructure in Blatten, whose roughly 300 inhabitants were evacuated on May 19 after geologists had identified the risk of an imminent avalanche of rock and ice from above, were hit hard by the rock slide, Ebener said."

SRF said houses were destroyed in the village nestled in the Loetschental valley in southern Switzerland.

Swiss authorities have been monitoring the slopes above Blatten since ordering residents to leave their homes.
