Norwegian mountain on the brink of collapse

Norwegian mountain on the brink of collapse

Mannen, a subsidiary bump of the Breitinden (1797m) in Romsdalen (Troll Wall, etc) is about to collapse - any moment now. It's moving about a centimetre an hour!

Sounds like this has the potential to end up something similar to what happened to Aorapi / Mount Cook in NZ in 1991 :shock:
