WorldCould a new lake trigger another devastating flood in Nepal?

A glacier collapse in Nepal and Tibet caused flash floods and mudslides that left 469 people confirmed dead and more than 1,000 missing. A landslide-dammed lake near the Nepal-China border is rising and has begun to overflow, threatening renewed downstream flooding. Authorities are surveying it, but the remote, steep terrain makes intervention difficult.
