Residents of the Swiss village of Brienz were evacuated a month ago after a warning from geologists - but they have been allowed back for brief visits.
A Swiss village has survived being buried under a huge rock slide by the narrowest of margins.
Brienz, in the southeastern Graubuenden region of Switzerland, was evacuated early last month after geologists warned that the Alpine rock looming over the village could break loose. The large mass of rock finally slid down the mountainside overnight on Thursday - but stopped just short of the settlement.
