At least six people have been killed after a large chunk of glacier broke loose and slammed into hikers on an Italian mountainside
Marmolada, towering about about 11,000 feet, is the highest peak in the eastern Dolomites.
"A breaking away of rock provoked the opening of a crevasse on the glacier, leaving about 15 people involved," the emergency dispatchers tweeted. The Alpine rescue service said in a tweet that the segment broke off near Punta Rocca , "along the itinerary normally used to reach the peak."It was not immediately clear what caused the section of ice to break away and rush down the peak's slope.
But the intense heat wave gripping Italy since late June could be a factor, Mr Milan told RAI state TV. "The heat is unusual," Mr Milan said, noting that temperatures in recent days on the peak had topped 10C.The injured were flown to several hospitals in the regions of Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto, according to rescue services.
