World's most fatal avalanches
The recent glacier collapse in the Himalayan region between Nepal and Tibet has resulted in the deaths of at least 270 people, with expectations of the death toll rising. This collapse is considered one of the largest glacier-related disasters in history, causing floods and torrents that destroyed roads, energy projects, and flooded villages. Historically, the area has experienced numerous deadly landslides, notably in 1941, 1962, 1970, 1981, and 2021, which led to thousands of victims and significant damage. These events reflect increasing threats linked to climate change and the melting of glaciers in the region.
