A Himalayan Glacier Collapse Killed Hundreds. One in Alaska Could Look Different.

Why the Nepal flash flood was almost impossible to predict

A collapsed glacier in Nepal caused catastrophic flooding that killed more than a thousand people, while thousands more are still missing. Andrew Chang breaks down what accelerated the flood to such a violent degree and how factors like the scale of the Himalayan mountains and the region's climate make prediction and monitoring so challenging.

A Himalayan glacier collapse killed hundreds. One in Alaska could look different.

Scientists say glacier collapses are more likely with climate change, and there have been two known glacier collapses in Alaska.

What a deadly glacier collapse in Nepal tells us about Canadian glaciers

Canada has more glaciers than any other country, but they are rapidly shrinking as temperatures rise. Hydrologist John Pomeroy explains the risks of glacier melt and disappearing snowpack

Glacier Collapse on Nepal Border Triggers Fatal Mountain Hazards -- Environmental Protection

A massive glacier collapse near the Nepal border has sent lethal mudslides surging into China, signaling escalating high-altitude climate risks.
