💨 Abstract

The first United Nations World Day for Glaciers is observed today, highlighting concerns about the Himalayan region. A report by Suhora Technologies reveals some glacial lakes are rapidly expanding, posing a threat to communities. Glacial melt due to climate change is causing this expansion, increasing the risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs).
