A rock avalanche and glacier collapse on the north face of Langtang Lirung sent a massive flood through Nepal and Tibet, killing nearly 1,400 people and leaving more than 5,000 missing. Scientists say decades of warming, glacier retreat, thawing permafrost and increased meltwater destabilized the slope, with unusual heat and a previous earthquake also possibly contributing.
