Can you give me some information on the Alps? I'm especially interested in their Glaciers. 
 Glaciers can form valleys. As an example reference Inn Valley. 
 How many glaciers are in the Alps? 
 Sorry I don't know about that; however, 40% of glaciation in Austria has disappeared since 1850, and 30% in Switzerland. 
 Do you know what has caused them to largely disappear? 
 Sorry, I don't know about that, but I can tell you that scorpions are found in the Italian Alps. They can even be found on the highest mountain in the Alps, Mont Blac. 
 That's interesting. What do you know about Avalanche/snow-slides there? 
 If you are going to play winter sports, there are concerns for avalanches. 1950-1951 was nicknamed the "Winter of Terror" references the multiple avalanche impacts to the Alps. On January 18th Valfrejus avalanche was treacherous to the French. 
 Wow. What happened with the Valfrejus avalanche? 
 Sorry, I don't have that information; However, I can tell you there was an avalanche in Zermatt that killed 2,500 people. 
 Did that happen during a sporting event? 
 Sorry, I don't have more information on that specific fact; however the Alps are a common winter destination for the Olympics. 
 Nice. Thanks so much for the help! 
 You're most welcome.
