The disaster killed hundreds of people and left many others missing. The event occurred in two stages: an initial crash of ice and rock into the river, followed days later by the bursting of a new lake that had pooled behind the debris. Scientists are now analyzing the role of permafrost and warming temperatures in the Himalayan region.Why it mattersThe Himalayas are experiencing an accelerating series of disasters as the mountains heat https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/before-the-nepal-flood-a-glacial-fall-tracing-the-trigger-and-a-100-km-killer-runhttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/before-the-nepal-flood-a-glacial-fall-tracing-the-trigger-and-a-100-km-killer-run#u52204Sun, 30 Aug 2026 09:00:40 +0000A glacial collapse in Nepal triggered a cascading disaster in August 2026, resulting in the Rasuwa flood. The event involved a 100-km path of destruction starting from a glacial fall on the border between China and Nepal. This disaster has increased international attention on the risks posed by collapsing glaciers and glacial lakes, with analysts drawing parallels to similar vulnerabilities in the Alps and within India. The event is being linked by some observers to broader weather anomalies, including a supercharged El Nino.Why it mattersGlacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) represent a growin
