Many people see snow as something magical, but some countries don’t even have snow. In this case you can go to Austria, for example, because high in the Alps, they have snow for up to eight months a year. They have the best ski resorts in the world and you can enjoy the snowy landscapes to your heart's content. But snow doesn’t just bring joy, it can also bring danger. For example, avalanches are common in the mountains. They kill over 150 people around the world every year. Most victims suffocate, or die of injuries sustained from the collapse of the heavy snow mass, or as a result of hypothermia. But is it possible to survive an avalanche? _________________________________________________________________________ For copyright matters please contact us at: copymanagerdate@gmail.com _________________________________________________________________________ #animals #snow
