The deadly avalanche in Nepal was initially reported as a glacier collapse. Clearer satellite imagery now shows it was the mountain itself that broke off. Geomorphologist Kristen Cook says "the rock that the glacier was sitting on collapsed," carrying ice and boulders into the valley and triggering the destructive...

You hear that? It’s the sound of a million X posts being deleted by the climate doomers that the flood happened bc we eat steak once a week.

Science must look for direct physical reasons for a specific collapse but educated people understand that all mountains erode and collapse in the long run. Tectonically active uplifting ranges like the Himalayas and Andes experience more catastrophic events than ancient ones.

Sat imagery most certainly does not show that. Two things are clear. X and google are working to draw people to the collapsed bedrock theory, and AWAY from noticing straight lines. I notice the UNNATURAL straight line.

Celebrating "bedrock failure" like it’s a win for denialists, completely oblivious to the fact that high-alpine geomorphologists track these exact rock-ice avalanches as textbook indicators of CLIMATE destabilisation. Rock collapsed because thermal change of the glacier on top!

Climate alarmism is an unfalsifiable religious non-theory. A scientific theory has to have some condition or circumstance that would prove it is false. For these cultists, every event proves climate change. There is nothing that would disprove it.

Bedrock failure doesn't disprove climate change it's actually a sign of it. High altitude rock walls are bound together by permafrost. When temperatures rise that frozen glue thaws and melting glaciers remove physical support from the cliffside causing the rock itself to give way

Hydroelectric dams cause flash flooding by diverting natural water courses. Xizang the highest altitude dam constructed 2025 with rapid expansion. Mudslides and landslides triggered by heavy Monsoon Rains.

This exact thing happened in a (fortunately) sparsely populated area of Alaska. In the 60s or so, I think. A huge rockfall triggered an immense tsunami in the river valley below. Can’t remember exactly, but I think hundreds of feet of water were measured by the debris field.

山体本身是冻土，是由水冰和砂石混合在一起的物质，其中的水冰以胶体冰和层状冰形式存在，像胶水一样抓着砂石彼此，气温的升高会让其中的水冰融化，砂石间的握力越来越小。十年前的地震有可能让这里有些许松动，但这里的冰层逐年融化可能才是重要触发原因。

Started posting last year, very close to what has been suggested by other posts in last week since satellite imagery became available. Missing retreat of glacial ice that used to block overhang from dropping. Always like the way these accounts take you to the edge without explaining why the edge.

What Likely Happened on 26 August: A Terrain-Based Assessment. The disaster originated on the Nepal side, on the north face of Langtang Lirung inside Langtang National Park. Satellite imagery suggests this was not simply a glacier calving event but a large bedrock slope failure that carried part of the overlying glacier with it. The collapse, at roughly 5,100–5,200 m elevation, generated the seismic signal initially mistaken for an earthquake. The resulting ice-rock avalanche entered the Lhende Khola valley, close to the Nepal–Tibet boundary. This 3D terrain walkthrough with voice-over, using January 2026 imagery, shows the likely impact pathway: Slope failure → ice-rock debris enters the valley → possible temporary river blockage → water accumulates → blockage fails → sudden flood surge downstream. Note: The yellow line in the 3D walkthrough is the boundary line between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. The surge then travelled through the narrow valley, striking the Gyirong border checkpoint on the Chinese side, damaging major structures, before continuing downstream and affecting hydropower infrastructure and settlements on the Nepal side.

The video shows the scale of the catastrophic landslide and glacier collapse on the border between Nepal and China, where the Dubai skyscraper Burj Khalifa, with its impressive height of 828 meters, was placed in a digital model of the valley for comparison. It is noted that the world's tallest skyscraper appears as a tiny speck against the backdrop of millions of tons of rock and ice debris that collapsed into the valley. Meanwhile, according to the Nepalese police and emergency services as of September 3, 2026, the confirmed number of deaths due to the devastating floods and landslides following the glacier avalanche at the end of August has reached 1,252. Approximately 4,875 people are missing, including many foreign nationals (pilgrims and tourists), as the disaster affected popular routes.

Scientists now believe the catastrophic flash flood on the Nepal-China border that left more than 353 people dead and over 1,300 still missing was caused by a 2,000-foot-wide chunk of ice that broke off a glacier and fell to the valley below. This is known as a glacier collapse. The immense block of ice plummeted 4,000 feet down, pulverizing on impact and mixing with mud and rocks to create a fast-moving, 250-foot-tall wall of debris that tore through riverside settlements at speeds of 44 mph. The sheer force of the landslide was so immense that it generated a 5.2 magnitude earth quake. [The initially video I shared, which has been taken down was from a different glacier collapse that occurred in Chile].

A massive glacier collapse near the Nepal-China border may have triggered a devastating flash flood and scientists are now investigating the exact chain of events. A huge section of ice reportedly collapsed thousands of feet into a river valley, carrying ice, rocks and debris into the river system. Within minutes, this material helped generate a powerful flood wave that raced downstream at extraordinary speed. The incident highlights a growing concern in the Hindu Kush Himalayas: climate change is causing glaciers to lose ice and may be increasing the instability of some mountain environments. The exact cause-and-effect chain is still being investigated, but the warning is clear: the climate threat in the Himalayas isn't just melting glaciers. A sudden glacier collapse can potentially turn into a catastrophic flood within minutes. #nepal #NepalFlood #flood #climatechange #globalwarming

BIG NEWS 🚨 Scientists say a 2,000-foot-wide glacier triggered deadly Nepal floods. Satellite imagery indicates that a section of glacier about 2,000 feet wide fell from an altitude of around 17,000 feet 😳 Geologists and glaciologists said it was an ice avalanche. A huge mass of ice fell from a glacier, generating a powerful surge of water, ice and debris. The flow then moved northwest through the valley towards the Lhende Khola and Bhotekoshi rivers.

Climate alarmists refuse to let go of their narrative about Nepal despite the load of evidence against their claims. The avalanche (and by extension, flood) in Nepal last week was triggered by the collapse of bedrock beneath the Yala Glacier, not the glacier partially collapsing itself. Global warming doesn’t cause bedrock to buckle. It was likely geological in origin caused by seismic activity in recent years and months causing fractures in the rock. The Himalaya are highly active due to plate tectonics moving India into the Asian continent. And the “melting permafrost” argument doesn’t hold much water either because temperatures have generally been below freezing, even during summer, where the glacier sits ~17,000 feet (5,200 meters) up. You aren’t going to see a lot of days get above 0°C (32°F). Not every environmental disaster that happens needs to be blamed on humans. Nature itself is more than capable of causing these types of events. It’s time to get rid of the mentality that mankind is the cause of every bad thing that happens.

A massive glacier collapse on the Nepal-Tibet border has triggered catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides. On Wednesday morning, an enormous chunk of ice snapped off a high-altitude glacier, plunging over a vertical kilometer into the valley bottom. Glaciologists report that this massive ice avalanche blocked the Lhende Khola river, a tributary of the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers. The temporary dam rapidly failed, releasing a towering, apocalyptic wall of water, mud, and heavy debris that violently tore through downstream mountain settlements and border facilities.

What happened above❓ 🛘A Chinese photographer captured the mountain collapse that set off the Nepal–Tibet disaster.🇳🇵 👇New information The exact volume is still being calculated from satellite data. The strongest working estimate puts the combined rock, ice and debris at roughly 50–100 million m³. If most of that material were rock and soil at about 2.5–2.7 tonnes per m³: • 50 million m³ → about 125–135 million tonnes • 100 million m³ → about 250–270 million tonnes So a rock–ice–debris mass on the order of 125–270 million tonnes may have moved. If much of it was ice, the tonnage would be lower. What the USGS says This was not a tectonic magnitude 5.2 earthquake. A huge mass movement — rock and glacier collapse, then a debris flow — produced a seismic signal equivalent to M5.2. That signal was the collapse. The likely chain: rock/ice collapse → debris flow → temporary river blockage → sudden release → flood and debris surge The key correction from Adrien Gilbert (CNRS) The first movement may not have been the glacier snapping off on its own. Gilbert argues it began as a massive rock slide of several million m³ that dragged glacial ice with it. “The glacier collapsed” is therefore incomplete. The glacier was sitting on a mountainside that failed. The most striking figures so far • Mobilized volume: preliminary 50–100 million m³ • Mass equivalent: ~125–270 million tonnes if the density is mostly rock • Vertical drop: about 1.2–1.3 km • Seismic equivalent: M5.2 (not a fault-rupture quake) • Flow speed: about 50 m/s (~180 km/h) — Chinese geologist Guo Zhaocheng • Debris-flow length: more than 20 km • Downstream impact: up to about 100 km • Extra water reported at Devghat: an early technical estimate of ~20 million m³ (needs a cited source) This is not over Two landslide-dammed lakes have formed. The lake on the Chinese side is reported at about 2 million m³, with roughly 3 million m³ more water expected to enter the system in the coming days.

#WATCH | Kathmandu, Nepal: On the cause of the Nepal flash flood, Geologist Prof. Dr Bishal Nath Upreti says, "...First of all, this is not a glacial outburst flood. It is not a case where a lake breached and then came down - no lakes were breaching out and causing this...Nepal first recorded an earthquake of 4.4 magnitude, and later the USGS updated it to 5.2 magnitude. The initial idea was that the earthquake triggered a block of ice falling down from the glacier...afterwards, however, the USGS re-examined the waveforms of the seismic activity and realised that this was not a tectonic earthquake. It was not that an earthquake caused the ice to fall, but actually the other way around: the sheer mass of ice and rocks falling created this 5.2 magnitude earthquake...you can only imagine how massive the mass must have been that fell from above."

China-Nepal border mudslide fully unpacked: What exactly happened At 10:52 a.m. Beijing time on August 26, a glacier collapsed high in the Himalayas. Six to seven minutes later, the ice-rock avalanche it unleashed flattened Gyirong Port in China's Xizang Autonomous Region — then kept going, surging downstream into Nepal. Since then, Chinese rescuers have pushed in by land, air and water to reach the port through a canyon where the road was gone, the river was blocked, and the risk wasn't over. But some questions didn't end with the flood. What exactly happened on the China–Nepal border? Was it just a mudslide? Why was there no warning? Why did it hit Gyirong Port the hardest? And why has the rescue proven so difficult? To answer them, we trace the disaster from the glacier to the gorge. Watch the full breakdown. #mudslide #China #Nepal

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

‼️ 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.

A mountain moved — and an entire valley changed in minutes. 💔 On august 26, 2026, a catastrophic flood and debris-flow disaster struck the Himalayan region near the Nepal-Tibet border. Investigators believe a massive high-altitude glacier and ice-rock collapse triggered a violent surge of rock, mud, ice sediment and water through the valley below. The resulting flood tore through communities, roads, bridges and hydropower infrastructure along the mountain river systems. What begin high in the Himalayas became a devastating wall of debris and water downstream. A week later, the scale of tragedy remains difficult to comprehend. Rescue teams continue searching for survivors, including people believed to be trapped inside damaged hydropower tunnels. The Himalayas are along the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth — but steep terrain, unstable geology, glaciers, intense rainfall and fast-moving mountains rivers can combine into devastating cascading disasters. What begins as a collapse high in the mountains can become a moving mass of rock, ice, mud and water with warning. Thought with everyone affected, the families still waiting for answers, and the rescue teams working is incredibly difficult conditions. 💔

The resulting flood tore through communities, roads, bridges and hydropower infrastructure along the mountain river systems. What begin high in the Himalayas became a devastating wall of debris and water downstream. A week later, the scale of tragedy remains difficult to comprehend. Rescue teams continue searching for survivors, including people believed to be trapped inside damaged hydropower tunnels. The Himalayas are along the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth — but steep terrain, unstable geology, glaciers, intense rainfall and fast-moving mountains rivers can combine into devastating cascading disasters. What begins as a collapse high in the mountains can become a moving mass of rock, ice, mud and water with warning. Thought with everyone affected, the families still waiting for answers, and the rescue teams working is incredibly difficult conditions. 💔
