Collapsed Glacier Likely Caused Devastating Nepal Tibet Floods, Scientists Say The Himalayas have long been a symbol of resilience and grandeur, but beneath their snow capped peaks lies a ticking time bomb – melting glaciers that threaten to unleash catastrophic floods on unsuspecting communities.
Last week's devastating flash flood on the Nepal Tibet border, which claimed at least 177 lives, serves as a stark reminder of this unfolding disaster.
Scientific investigations have revealed that the likely cause of the disaster was a collapsed glacier, sending a massive wall of ice and rock debris hurtling down the Lende Khola river.
