What Actually Triggered the Nepal–Tibet Border Flash Flood?
A massive ice and rock avalanche from a glacier triggered a chain reaction near the Nepal–China border. The avalanche and debris blocked the river, forming a temporary barrier lake. When the blockage gave way, a powerful surge of water, mud and debris rushed downstream, causing devastating flash floods across Gyirong in Tibet and Nepal’s Rasuwa district.
GLACIAL COLLAPSE → DEBRIS BLOCKAGE → TEMPORARY BARRIER LAKE → BREACH → DEVASTATING FLASH FLOOD 🌊🏔️
Yesterday's GLOF Shocked the world. Reminding us all of the unmitigated power and indifference of nature.
Captured by the survivors on film was and extremely rare opportunity to witness a "Glacier Erratic" on the move.
This massive boulder pushed by the forces will soon rest in place isolated and alone. We have mostly only seen the echoes of this left in place from the end of the last glacial maximum some 20K years ago.
They often sit atop other smaller rocks giving the impression of being placed by man and being confused with Dolmens.
But now we have the visual record to process them with clarity.

Today is Hayden’s birthday. Instead of celebrating the way we had planned, today we celebrate her life, her spirit, and the love she brought into this world.
I want to thank all of Hayden’s fans, friends, and everyone who has reached out for the incredible outpouring of love and support. At a time filled with so much sadness, your kindness has reminded me that there is still so much good in humanity.
If you’re reading this, I ask just one thing: even if only for a moment, think about LOVE. Reach out to a friend. Forgive someone. Be kind.
Love is a superpower. Use it.
Happy Birthday, Hayden. ❤️ You are loved, you are missed, and you will never be forgotten
