A large avalanche blocks Highway 94 in Saragammen, a few kilometers south of downtown Hammerfest. The ambulance is stuck due to a landslide.

The ambulance is on the south side of the avalanche and there is no way of reaching the hospital in Hammerfest, he writes NRK .

Finnmark rescue teams report iFinnmark that they had not received information that someone had been kidnapped by an avalanche.

A landslide assessment by NVE in northern Norway shows that unpredictable winds and relatively fresh snow on the slopes in many mountain areas mean that the risk of landslides is high in most parts of the region.
