WorldSatellite images show glacier collapse that triggered flooding at Nepal-China border

Satellite images show that the lower section of a glacier tongue, stretching 1,300 metres across, sheared off and plunged from a cliff into a lake 2,000 metres below, geoscientist Jakob Steiner says. He says climate change contributed and the area was already known to face a high risk of collapse.
