The Sunday Times (UK): Climate change brings Eiger to earthSteven Swinford9.7.2006A SLAB of rock weighing millions of tons is poised to break away from the Eiger, one of Europes most treacherous mountains, and crash into the valley below, a geologist has warned.Hans-Rudolf Keusen, who monitors the Bernese Alps for the Swiss government, said 2m cubic metres of the Eiger mountain are set to collapse, in what would be Europes biggest rock fall for 15 years.The limestone slab is equivalent in volume to two Empire State Buildings. It will be a spectacular sight, said Keusen. There arent any houses underneath, so nobody is going to get hit by a rock on the head. Keusen first spotted the fissure between the limestone slab and the rockface at the beginning of June. It measured 8in then, but has since widened to just over 16ft and is growing at a rate of 35in a day.According to Keusen, the crack has been caused by the retreat of the Grindelwald glacier, which previously supported the rockface.
