Glacier sheared off, plunged 1.2km before ‘liquid concrete’ flood swamped Nepal
Satellite images analysed by Isro’s national remote sensing centre showed that almost two-thirds of the glacier body had detached.
A Sentinel-2 image from Aug 24 showed the glacier intact, while a Landsat-9 image taken after the disaster on Aug 26 revealed a large scar identified as the “zone of glacier breakage and collapse”.
The images also traced a broad ice-rock avalanche path descending towards the river.
