Frozen debris lobes (or FDLs) are slow-moving landslides occurring in permafrost. Made up of soil, rocks, trees, and ice, many are located on the slopes in the southern Brooks Range of Alaska.
FDL-A is approaching infrastructure at an increasing rate.
In 2022, it collided with the old Dalton Highway alignment.
