“The Marmolada glacier is closed to everyone. Today is a sad day … Other pieces of ice are at risk of detachment”. It is the message of Carlo Budel, manager of Capanna Punta Penia, the refuge on the top of the Marmolada (3,343 meters) the mountain of the Dolomites where today, further down, a huge landslide of ice and debris has broken off. “Today a gigantic block of ice broke off from Punta Rocca – he says, sharing a video shot from above on social networks – it took the entire line of the glacier, it went down to under Pian dei Fiacconi. It overwhelmed a lot of people . The glacier is now closed, no one can go up the glacier anymore. Unfortunately, many people have died today “.
