Meyonia meteorological services issued a warning concerning the possible collapsing of the Mount Ling glacier in Meyonia North due to temperatures increases.

All the access routes to the glacier had been blocked by the army and the nearby residents had been evacuated. Navigation in the New Sark channel had also been forbidden until further notice.
Besides the danger of avalanche and landslide the meteoroligical service also warned about the high risk of floods due to the collapse of the glacier and the snow melt in Meyonia South. All the low lands both in North and South are threatened by water including the Army North Camp and the airport and possibly the lowest portions of the main road.

Citizens are warned to avoid the areas near the Mount Ling and to be cautious in the low lands of both islands.
