An unusually large avalanche fell from Mount Fisht, located in Adygea, on the border of the Caucasus Nature Reserve, the press service of the reserve reported, TASS reports on April 11.
The event attracted attention after the publication on social networks of a video of an avalanche whose volume, according to estimates by the Sochi Geographical Society, amounted to more than a thousand cubic meters of wet snow, stones and earth.
It should be noted that such avalanches occur very rarely, perhaps once a century. That is, this phenomenon is especially significant for scientific study. Scientists point out the need to analyze the conditions under which such a significant amount of snow and water accumulated in a limited area.
Soon, specialists from the reserve, in collaboration with the Hydrometeorology Center, will carry out an expedition to Mount Fisht to study the avalanche and its consequences. It is planned to inspect the area to determine if the avalanche was limited to the ravine and the Vodopadisty stream, or if some of the snow and stones headed in the opposite direction, in particular towards the Fisht shelter.
