Nepal and Tibet Floods Revealed by Satellite
Satellite images and geological analyses have revealed that the deadly floods that struck Nepal and the Chinese Tibetan region on August 26, 2026, may have resulted from the collapse of part of a glacier, caused by a sudden snowmelt coinciding with an earthquake that struck the area minutes before the disaster. It is believed that the earthquake contributed to the detachment of the ice mass, causing it to fall into the valley, leading to a large rush and trapping many victims. Approximately 100 bodies have been recovered, and over 300 foreign travelers are still missing. The images show clear changes in the area, with the mountain slope now covered in deposits. Experts confirm that the final cause of the collapse remains unclear, although the nearly one-third reduction in snow cover over the past thirty years raises concerns about the worsening of such phenomena due to global warming.
