on September 20, a hanging glacier collapsed onto the Kolka Glacier, triggering an avalanche of ice and debris. The avalanche buried small villages in the Russian Republic of North Ossetia, killing dozens of people. The source of the avalanche can be seen at lower left, at the starting point of a long line of grayish avalanche debris standing out against the bright snow and ice.
