The Worst Avalanches in History

1970 Huascarán Avalanche

The deadliest avalanche in world history was actually triggered by a massive earthquake that rocked the nation of Peru with a death toll of 70,000.

1916 White Friday

In the Italian Alps, thousands of soldiers would lose their lives during a series of deadly avalanches that cascaded from Mount Marmolada during World War I. Such events happened frequently, leaving an estimated 9,000 to 10,000 soldiers dead.

1962 Huascarán Avalanche

The 1962 avalanche was the result of a natural crack in a glacier that sent six million tons of ice hurdling down the mountainside. In the end, thousands of people and 10,000 farm animals died.

2015 Afghanistan Avalanches

In the mountains of Afghanistan's Panjshir province, a series of deadly avalanches left hundreds dead and wiped out 1,200 homes in the surrounding villages.
