Winter is a welcome time to go skiing or snowboarding in the mountains. Thousands of tourists head to the best ski resorts around the world to have fun on the ski slopes, not even suspecting that they could be trapped by a very dangerous phenomenon called an avalanche. This natural phenomenon is amazingly beautiful. However, a huge stream of snow is the last thing that many skiers have seen in their lives. Here is the list of the three largest avalanches in the world which happened in Afghanistan.
- Afghanistan, 310 dead
On February 24-28, 2015, 310 people died as a result of avalanches in the northeastern provinces of Afghanistan. Heavy snowfalls in more than half of the country's provinces led to a series of incidents. The most affected by avalanches was the Panger province, where 168 people died and dozens of residential buildings were destroyed.
- Afghanistan, 201 dead
On March 4, 2012, as a result of an avalanche in northeast Afghanistan, 56 people were killed and 145 people were missing. Rescuers were able to reach the scene of the accident only after two days. Four victims were evacuated and got medical treatment. The avalanche was preceded by several days of heavy snowfall.
- Afghanistan, 172 dead
On February 9, 2010, 172 people died as a result of a series of snow avalanches at the Salang Pass. Avalanches fell on a mountain serpentine which was almost 4 km long and about 3 thousand people were trapped on mountain roads. The Afghan army provided assistance to them by sending helicopters which delivered food and tents. Rescue operations were problematic because of severe weather conditions such as cold, wind and snowfall. It was possible to clear the snow only by mid-February 2010.
