Italy: All 11 hikers killed in glacier avalanche identified
ROME (AP) — Italian authorities on Saturday put the final death toll of an avalanche in northern Italy at 11 and said all the victims had been identified nearly a week after a chunk of ice detached from a melting glacier and sent a torrent of ice, rock and debris on hikers below.

Carabinieri Cmdr. Giampietro Lago, who headed a team of forensic experts identifying the remains, said the identity of the final hiker had been established and “there are no elements" at this point to suggest the death toll would grow.
An apartment building-sized chunk of the Marmolada glacier in Italy’s Dolomite mountains detached July 3, sparking an avalanche of debris down the mountain that is a popular hiking destination in summer.
Experts have said warming temperatures likely contributed to the cleaving, since the glacier has lost mass and volume for years and been melting more quickly than usual this summer amid a heat wave, possibly destabilizing it.
A day of mourning was observed Saturday throughout the affected area, known as the Val di Fassa.

■ 동절기 눈사태 예상 구간이나 하절기 대형 Glacier avalanche(빙하/만년설 눈사태) 예상 구간에서는 대부분 미리 예측할 수 있어서 Trail closed(산행로 폐쇄)를 통해 사전에 ‘입산 금지’ 나 우회로를 안내하는 것이 일반적인 사례입니다.
그러나,
이번 이탈리아 만년설 눈사태는 세계적인 관광지에서 일어난 기후변화로 인한 자연재해라 인간으로서는 거의 불가항력에 가까운 사고가 아니었나 조심스럽게 추측해봅니다.
사전에 거의 예측이 불가능했다는 사실입니다.
산 꾼 여러분들의 안전하고 즐거운 산행이 되기를 나의 믿음에 기도합니다.
