Summary |
Scientists detail the forces and factors that can allow avalanches to reach a mile wide, weigh more than a million tons and accelerate faster than a 911 Porsche, easily reaching 80 miles per hour in five seconds. Examine sites where snowmobilers, skiers and drivers have fallen victim to avalanches, and discover the surprising role that they played in one of the most famous military campaigns in history--claiming 18,000 troops and innumerable horses and elephants as Hannibal marched his massive army through the Alps |
