You can describe snow and avalanches using physics. In order to understand a snowpack, thermodynamics is required above all, which describes the partial pressures and transformation processes of the crystals. The triggering of an avalanche requires a description of the mechanical properties of the snowpack and fluid dynamics are used for its propagation. However, science can sometimes be quite dry. That's why today we are presenting videos that make the subject matter more digestible.

On the ubiquitous monopolistic video platform, we are often lured into clicking with sensational titles: this strategy is called clickbaiting. It works best with dangerous actions, stupid sayings or happy accidents. This episode therefore promises above all entertaining entertainment, although high-quality films have also worked their way up the algorithm and are shared here.
