The Swiss village of Kandersteg faces an imminent threat from an unstable rock formation poised to cause a landslide. Scientists have linked this risk to thawing permafrost and glacier dynamics, similar to a disaster that impacted a nearby village last year.
The 1,300 residents of Kandersteg, located in Switzerland’s Bern canton, live within an Alpine landscape now impacted by these geological instabilities.
