First comprehensive report on glacial lakes in the Hindu Kush Himalaya released

Experts refer to the different types of glacial lakes based on dam type and the process by which the lake was formed. Glacial lakes within two kilometres of glaciers are directly fed by glacier melt. In this report – which focuses on different types of moraine-dammed glacial lakes – mapping shows that most glacial lakes […]
