A glacier partially collapsed in Switzerland, burying the village of Blatten in a huge landslide of ice, rock, and mud after residents had been evacuated.
Scientists called the collapse of the glacier “unprecedented” in the Swiss Alps.

Watch as a herd of elephants at the San Diego Zoo protect their calves, Mkhaya and Zuli, during a 5.2-magnitude earthquake that shook Southern California. The animals repeated the behavior during an aftershock, but went back to their daily routines when the situation seemed safe. nyti.ms/3Eo2uW8
