Glacier collapse blamed for deadly Nepal flood
Satellite and seismic data suggest that a glacier at about 5,200 meters collapsed, dropping over a kilometer into a valley and triggering a massive flash flood in Nepal and Tibet. The collapse may have been caused by melting snow and ice lubricating the glacier's base, possibly linked to climate change. The full extent of casualties and damage is still unknown.
