The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1️⃣ meter in terms of thickness! 1️⃣0️⃣ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season. We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!

Uttarkashi Flood in Uttarakhanda: The catchment size is less than 20 sq. km, and more than 50% of the area is above 4,500 m. I am wondering about the intensity of a cloudburst and the form of precipitation at higher elevations. #Himalayas #mountainhazards #cryosphere #extremes

Could it be due to rock and ice slab failure, which carried huge sediments in its path, along with high-intensity precipitation?

Incredible 'bombing' above the Kazbek (5 054 m, Georgia, Caucasus) base camp two days ago ! 🔥😱 Boulders the size of fridges were flying! 🪨 🎥 Łukasz Blusiewicz

The lake's current area (July 2025) is 0.61 sq km (#planet) upstream of the Dudh Koshi subbasin. Small supraglacial lakes expanded and merged together to form large lakes in less than 10 years (#sentinel2) #himalaya #glaciallake #cryosphere #climatechange #hazard #disaster

This morning, flooding occurred in Marpha raj khola, Mustang. The river is still flowing with black mud. Similarly, the Dhumba Khola has also flooded. In recent years, Mustang has been experiencing unusually heavy rainfall. #mustang #flood

Another disaster from the High Himalaya
