Avalanche warning for region Nordenskiöld Land Saturday 08.05.2021

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW • Litt fokksnø, men vet ikke helt om det blir noe problem av det. Vikrer å sitte godt til underlaget

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within half a meter • Very difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW • Kan ikke helt avskrive kantkorn ved bakken. Det er der fremdeles, og mulig de siste dagers varme kan gjøre snødekket over litt mykere.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • 1 - Small • N, W, NW • Snow that came this week has faceted and grown. No new snow forecasted so not expected to be a problem, but could be if new snow comes and weak layer is buried.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, NW • Same Jan 15th ice layer we have had all year. Snow pack is thinning and sporadic above so not expecting big activity above svalsat road.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Very difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW • I det området jeg var i dag, er det nesten helt umulig å få til noe skred i kantkorn ved bakken.
