Glacier Collapse Shakes Himalayas | Bermuda News

A catastrophic glacier collapse on the Nepal-Tibet border has triggered a deadly avalanche of ice, rock, and mud, killing over 900 people and leaving nearly 5,000 missing. Rescue teams from Nepal, China, and India are racing against time to clear debris-filled tunnels trapping workers, using heavy machinery and controlled explosions amid daunting conditions. With hundreds of bodies already decomposing in the humid heat, the Red Cross reports more than 90,000 affected. China blames climate change for the disaster, while scientists warn unstable glaciers and a newly formed lake pose ongoing flood risks. The event underscores the urgent need for regional cooperation—and better data sharing—to prepare for future cryosphere disasters fueled by global warming.
