ISRO Satellite Images Reveal Two-Thirds of Nepal Glacier Broke Off in Disaster
0
·1 viewsSatellite imagery analysed by ISRO's National Remote Sensing Centre has revealed the scale of a devastating glacier collapse in Nepal. Nearly two-thirds of the glacier body detached and plunged approximately 1.2 kilometres, triggering a destructive flood described as resembling liquid concrete. A Sentinel-2 image captured on August 24 showed the glacier still intact, while a Landsat-9 image taken on August 26, after the disaster, exposed a large scar marking the zone of breakage and collapse. The imagery also mapped the path of a massive ice-rock avalanche that descended toward a nearby river.
