About This Trend
Blatten is a village in the Swiss Alps that was largely destroyed by a catastrophic glacier collapse and subsequent landslide.
The village is trending due to the recent disaster, where a massive section of a glacier broke off, burying 90% of Blatten under mud, rock, and debris. This event has drawn global attention as it highlights the impacts of climate change and permafrost loss in the Alps.
