Dig Tsho Glacier Lake in Nepal, 2006

Dig Tsho Glacier Lake in Nepal, 2006. On 4 August 1985, the terminus of Langmoche Glacier in the Dudh Kosi River Basin of Nepal collapsed into Dig Tsho Glacial Lake. The resulting displacement wave traveled along the lake, overtopped the lake's moraine dam and initiated a period of accelerated erosion that ultimately led to dam failure.
