Avalanche bulletin
Avalanche conditions
The snow pack is generally considered stable and isothermal after freeze thaw cycles in the last days. Small wind slabs may be in the mountains in the East fjords. Large natural avalanches released after warming this week in N-Iceland suggesting a weaknes may still be active although freeze thaw cycles and mild weather continue to strengthen the snowpack.
