An incredibly well-timed Landsat 9 pass captured the effects of yesterday’s catastrophic glacier collapse near the Nepal–Tibet border. The event was so massive that it was detected by seismometers around the world.
Footage emerging from Nepal’s Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts in the wake of the massive flash flood is some of the most apocalyptic I have ever seen. The scale of the devastation is hard to fathom, with hundreds feared dead.
