Glacier Hazards
Glaciers are dynamic bodies of ice that change all the time. Anyone who gets too close could fall in a crevasse, step on a snow bridge that collapses, or get hit by falling ice or rock. Every year people without proper mountaineering training, or just bad luck, die from climbing on or around glaciers.
Glaciers also pose significantly larger hazards to societies worldwide. Avalanches and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are the most destructive types of glacier disasters that have affected people in mountain ranges around the globe.
The most deadly glacier disaster was the 1970 glacier avalanche from Mount Huascarán in Peru's Cordillera Blanca mountain range, which killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in Yungay (Evans et al. 2009; Oliver-Smith 1986). Glacier avalanches are unpredictable and difficult to plan for. The 1970 Peru avalanche, for example, was triggered by a massive earthquake that killed an estimated 55,000 people (Ericksen et al. 1970). Despite attempts to keep people outside the path of potential avalanches, inhabitants often live directly in these hazard zones (Carey 2008; 2010).
Glaciers usually are found in remote mountainous areas. However, some are found near cities or towns and sometimes present a problem for people living close by. On land, lakes formed on top of a glacier during the melt season may cause floods. At the terminus, or snout, of a valley glacier, ice falling from the glacier presents a hazard to hikers below. When ice breaks off over the ocean, an iceberg is formed. Some examples of these hazards are listed below.
