  1. #Glacier collapse may have triggered deadly #Nepal flash flood

    A deadly flash flood near ​Nepal's border with Tibet on Wednesday may have been triggered when the lower part of a glacier broke off and ‌crashed on to the valley floor hundreds of metres below, experts said citing satellite imagery from Planet Labs.
    It was not clear what caused the glacier to collapse, but Nepali officials have pointed to an earthquake in the region minutes earlier as a possibility.

  6. 🚧 edit: no need to recurse to "glacier collapse". Please read a better explanation in the next post.
    (So i have just learned to beware the New Scientist.)

    "The full extent of the deaths and damage caused by the enormous flash flood that swept down a river valley in Nepal and Tibet today won’t be clear for weeks. But initial analyses of satellite images and seismic data suggest that the collapse of a high glacier caused the disaster."

    "Melting snow appears to have weakened a steep glacier at an altitude of 5 kilometres, causing it to plummet around a kilometre into the river valley below."

  16. Oh mon dieu 😱 ... encore un glacier qui menace de s'effondrer en 🇨🇭et ça m'attriste parce que c'est le premier 4000 m que j'avais fait 🥺 Les guides l'appelaient le "4000 des dames" parce que c'était facile et magnifique. On se disait que lorsque les glaciers seront plus là les politiciens agiront contre le réchauffement du climat. Je crois qu'on y est et que c'est trop tard. #rechauffement #canicule #glacier #montagne #nature #rechauffement_climatique

  19. Autres conséquences des canicules, toutes aussi inquiétantes

    Depuis plusieurs jours des éboulements massifs ont lieu sur l'Aiguille du midi

    Petite vidéo du phénomène : youtu.be/Dh1i9sOMB30

    En Suisse la fonte des glaces a libéré deux corps d’alpinistes disparus depuis trente-quatre ans : liberation.fr/sciences/histoir

    La moitié des glaciers aura disparu d’ici 20 ans, avec un pic d’extinction prévu en 2033 : france3-regions.franceinfo.fr/
