  6. “The steep mountain folds of the Himalayas, already prone to earthquakes, have seen more frequent flash floods as high mountain glaciers melt, redrawing rivers at sometimes terrifying speed.

    Residents have had little time to rebuild from one disaster to the next, raising concerns over whether their communities can endure as climate change accelerates.”

  7. Every day, new bodies are recovered in Nepal, but many remain unidentifiable. Several days after the disaster, some are already in an advanced state of decomposition. Morgues in the country's main cities are reaching capacity. Faced with the influx of remains, authorities have begun burying them without formal identification. France 24's special correspondents traveled to Bharatpur, in southern Nepal, to one of these burial sites.

  8. A Himalayan disaster has left nearly 3,000 people missing across Nepal and Tibet.

    More than 670 deaths have now been reported.

    Hydropower sites, roads, homes and the Gyirong border area suffered major damage.

    Foreign tourists and hundreds of workers are among those still missing.

    More than 3,700 people have been rescued in Nepal.

  9. A Japanese family of five are believed to be among the more than 2,400 people still missing Saturday after flash floods and landslides hit the Nepal-Tibet border earlier this week, according to media reports. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/ #japan #floods #nepal #china #tibet #himalayas

  10. The number of people missing in Nepal and China has surpassed 2,400, underscoring the scale of disaster, days after a tsunamilike wall of water and debris swept away villages and killed hundreds. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/ #asiapacific #floods #nepal #china #tibet #himalayas

  11. CW: The Tibet-China flooding.

    A large piece of glacier, made up of ice and rock some 1.3 km wide, broke off high in the mountains and fell some 2 kilometres into the valley below.

    Glacier experts reckon a sudden warm spell at high altitudes probably melted snow quickly, which caused water to seep deep into the glacier, making the base slick, and causing the ice mass to break loose. The impact of this hitting the valley generated one hell of a rumble; the USGS thought it was a 5.2 earthquake.

    The ice and rock temporarily dammed the Lhende Khola river, which built up behind the debris. When the water pressure broke through the dam, it released a flood of mud, ice, and rocks downstream.

    Climate experts reckon rising regional temperatures and climate change are causing Himalayan glaciers to melt and destabilize more rapidly than ever before.

    This is a horrible tragedy. I can't imagine what it must have been like to go through it.

  12. “The scale of the disaster in the #Himalayas is becoming clearer a day after catastrophic flooding tore through parts of #Nepal and #Tibet. Scientists believe the disaster was likely triggered by the collapse of a glacier, unleashing a torrent of water, mud and debris that swept away entire communities. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Dan Shugar of the waterSHED Lab at the University of Calgary.”

  13. In 2022, DJI was able to fly one of their drones over Mt. Everest.

    Here's the video recorded by the drone around the highest point on Earth!

    In 2024 and 2025, DJI drones, specifically the Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro, achieved record-setting, high-altitude flights over Mount Everest, capturing 8K footage of the summit at 8,848 meters. These drones, often operated with 8KRAW, showcased remarkable stability in high winds (up to 50 km/h) and thin air.

    “HIGHLIGHTS
    • The rise in temperature and increase in precipitation is projected in future in Kaligandaki River basin.
    • The water availability in the basin is not likely to decrease during this century.
    • The change in water balance in the upper sub-basins of Kaligandaki River is higher.
    • The output from this research could be beneficial for water resources management..."

  24. This was taken well after #sunset into early darkness but the #peaks of the #himalayas on the #trek to #EverestBasecamp in #Nepal are so high that they catch the glow even after darkness has set in. It’s truly unlike any light I’ve seen.
