In Norway a few mountains have been declared “high risk areas”, meaning that they can fall any minute. The implications could be huge, literally speaking. The media has followed up and put up 24/7 streaming webcams to catch this spectacular forthcoming event.

The idea of looking at a massive wall of stone hoping that something spectacular will happen is born.
