This may not be the year for that Easter trip to the cottage, at least in Norway’s far north. A Norwegian family cancelled their annual Easter vacation for the first time in 20 years after a neighbour sent a photograph of their seaside cottage buried in snow and apparently under imminent avalanche threat. Bente Andreassen was planning to take the getaway near the village of Honningsvag in Norway’s Finnmark region when her neighbour, Camilla Daae-Qvale, sent her the photo this week, the news agency NRK reported. It was terrifying to see,” Andreassen told NRK. The house is the childhood home of Andreassen’s mother-in-law.
