Question
Why are bergschrunds and crevasses dangerous for the mountaineers?
Answer
Bergschrunds and crevasses are dangerous for mountaineers because:
- Bergschrunds: They are deep gaps between a glacier and the mountain, posing a risk of climbers falling into them.
- Crevasses: These are deep, hidden cracks in glaciers that can trap climbers, making rescue difficult and increasing the risk of injury or death.
