Avalanche warning for region Nordenskiöld Land Sunday 13.12.2020

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, NW • Forsåvidt legg å komme ned til laget, men forplantningen på dette laget ikke er allverden.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, NW • Dette problemet er tydlerigere høyere opp, fra 500m og opp

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, NW

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Over one meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, NW

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE above 500 masl • Med drønn i snøen er dette et reelt problem fra 450-500 og oppover. Der det ligger mye hard fokksnø over, kan man si at problemet er bedre gjemt. Om dette er noen eller få bratte heng kan diskuteres. Det er ikke snø så mange andre plasser enn i NØ heng så problemet er tilstede der det er snø over 500m

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • Very difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, NW • Det er mulig også et fokksnøproblem. Dette har nok etterhvert blitt svært vanskelig å løse ut, men må nevnes.
