Northern Norway is grappling with severe snow avalanche risks, leaving key roads in Troms and Finnmark closed.

The E6, a vital route connecting Finnmark to the rest of the country, remains shut due to ongoing avalanche threats.

Efforts to clear the roads have been halted as new avalanches occur, with authorities closely monitoring the situation.

The closures have isolated communities like Øksfjord, where the fishing industry faces potential losses of up to 20 million kroner as fresh fish remains stranded.

Mild weather and strong winds are expected to worsen the avalanche risk, further delaying road openings.

Local leaders and businesses are calling for improved infrastructure to prevent such disruptions in the future.
