Invisible threat

Amidst these infinitely beautiful surroundings around Hellesylt lurks an invisible threat - Åkerneset. This unstable mountainside, high above the fjord, is monitored around the clock. Should the entire slope collapse, a tsunami could reach Hellesylt in just five minutes - rising up to 85 meters above the fjord. Such destructive power is hard to imagine in a landscape otherwise exuding peace and picture-postcard charm. Yet preparedness is high, with the village equipped with warning systems and evacuation plans. The contrast between beauty and danger is palpable. How do you imagine it feels for those who live here year-round?
