Thermomagnetic instability in general, and dendritic flux avalanches in particular, have attracted considerable attention of both scientists and engineers working on superconductor applications. Though being harmful for the performance of many superconducting devices, the avalanches provide a fruitful playground for experimental and theoretical studies of complex dynamics of the vortex matter. In this paper we report on the progress in understanding the mechanisms responsible for the development of the giant magnetic avalanches. We review recent results on magneto-optical imaging of the fingering instability in superconducting films and analyze them on the basis of recent theoretical model that establishes criteria for onset of the dendritic avalanches.
