Scientists link glacier collapse to Nepal-Tibet floods

Scientists have identified a collapsed glacier near Nepal’s Langtang Lirung peak as the cause of recent devastating floods along the Nepal-Tibet border, which resulted in at least 177 deaths and over 800 missing. The collapse generated a powerful surge of ice, rock debris, and water that caused rapid river water level rises and widespread destruction. Experts link the event to climate change-driven glacier melting and permafrost degradation in the Himalayas, highlighting increased risks of similar disasters.
