The disaster began when ice and rock fell into a glacial lake, creating a surge that traveled 100 kilometers downstream. Hundreds of people were killed and many more are missing. The event highlights the increasing risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) caused by climate change.Why it mattersThis disaster has prompted renewed scientific focus on predicting similar events in Nepal and India, while also drawing parallels to rising glacier risks in the Alps.
