Question

Why are bergschrunds and crevasses dangerous for the mountaineers?

Answer

Bergschrunds and crevasses are dangerous for mountaineers because:

  1. Bergschrunds: They are deep gaps between a glacier and the mountain, posing a risk of climbers falling into them.
  2. Crevasses: These are deep, hidden cracks in glaciers that can trap climbers, making rescue difficult and increasing the risk of injury or death.
