Experts believe an avalanche triggered by a glacier collapse caused the devastating flash flood in Nepal. But how glaciers collapse in the first place? We speak to Dr C Scott Watson, who leads the Glacial Lake Observatory for Flood Hazards Impacted by Climate Change at the University of Leeds.

Experts say the devastating flash floods in Nepal were likely caused by a glacial collapse in the Himalayas, and that climate change increases the risk of such events. Once again, communities least responsible for climate change bear the brunt of its impacts. Sustained international support is essential as the authorities respond to the catastrophe.

CBS News’ Ramy Inocencio is in Nepal, where thousands of people are reported missing following catastrophic flash floods and landslides, triggered by the collapse of a rocky ledge and the vast portion of a glacier it had supported. Some experts have raised concerns there could be more flooding from lakes at risk of overflowing, although Reuters reports those risks are manageable. #nepal #flood #rescue #news

Gyirong Port on the Nepal-Tibet border is confirmed to have been completely annihilated by yesterday’s glacial flash superflood. Located 12.2 miles (19.7 km) downstream of the Himalayan glacier collapse that created the flood, it is possible there are no survivors here. This CCTV footage recorded at the port last night will likely go down as some of the most extreme and spine-chilling footage of a flash flood ever captured by humanity.

Yesterday's catastrophic flood was caused by a glacial lake outburst. Tracing the origin of the Trishuli River, which flows along the Nepal-China border, three glacial lakes can be found in China. It is widely suspected that one of these three lakes has burst.

‼️ Heartbreaking video from Nepal. Villages overrun by raging flood. Hundreds of people are missing. The cause: Likely due to a Glacier Lake or dam in the mountain’s above bursting free from a snow-rock landslide, with water cascading down the hills. It took place on the Nepal-China border - that was initiated by a 4.4 Earthquake. That’s where the evidence points now, and if so, it’s called a Glacier Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF). They are more common now-a-days as glaciers continue to melt and hold more water. See image below.

🌊 How did the Nepal flood become this devastating? A sudden surge in the river, likely intensified by heavy rainfall and flash flooding, sent a massive wall of water downstream overwhelming the bridge in seconds. 🇳🇵 #NepalFlood #NepalFloods #Nepal #Rasuwa

The Dharali disaster on 5 August 2025 wasn’t caused by a cloudburst or a classic glacier break. ISRO scientists have found that a large ice patch beneath the Shrikanta Glacier suddenly collapsed, carrying tens of thousands of cubic meters of ice, soil, and rocks downhill. This initial collapse transformed into a high‑energy debris flow, scouring the valley and creating the devastating flood. Multi‑temporal satellite imagery and digital elevation models show the event occurred independently of rainfall or a glacial lake outburst. 📍 Dharali village, Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand, in the Indian Himalayas

📍Rasuwa District, Nepal. A major sudden flash flood has entered Rasuwa from the Tibet side through the Bhote Koshi River in Nepal. The exact trigger is still under investigation. Officials and hydrologists are examining the possibility of a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) or another sudden high-altitude flood event in Tibet; satellite observations reportedly show significant rainfall on the Tibetan side.
