Glacier Collapse Sparks Deadly Flood in Nepal

A glacier collapsed in Nepal's Rasuwa region on August 27, 2026, triggering a deadly flash flood. Scientists tie the event to warming destabilizing high-altitude terrain across the Hindu Kush Himalaya. ICIMOD, a regional research center, reports glaciers there are melting at double the rate seen since 2000, threatening two billion people in downstream river basins.
