Huge waves of ice and snow pouring down a steep mountain can cause tremendous amounts of damage. Readers (Grades 3-5) will learn about some of the most devastating avalanches in history and find out how rescue operations are carried out. They will also discover how experts predict avalanches and what people can do to stay out of harm's way during these extreme events.| ISBN: | 9780531225103 |
