- Abstract
The article offers information on the history of several extreme weather events and their related hazards over the Arctic regions. The event was caused by heavy rain in association with unusually warm temperatures that caused rapid snowmelt in the higher terrain. A record-breaking wind event took place in February 2007 in which winds gusting up to 140 km caused extensive damage to building.
