A huge mass of rock and ice from a glacier has thundered down a Swiss Alpine mountainside. Authorities say it covered with mud or destroyed about 90% of a village that was evacuated earlier this month.

A landslide near Blatten, Switzerland submerged an entire village in the Swiss Alps, leaving most of the homes and buildings under a mass of brown sludge.

A catastrophic glacier collapse tore through the Swiss Alpine village of Blatten on Wednesday, May 28, in a chilling reminder of the growing power of nature and the mounting costs of a warming planet.
