This is the aftermath of the devastating flash flood in Nepal.
A large section of a glacier and bedrock sheared off upriver, and plunged more than 1,000 meters to the valley floor. The impact was so powerful it registered as a 5.2 magnitude earthquake. The falling ice, rock, and debris crashed into the Lhende Khola river, which in turn generated a sudden surge in the river carrying water, sediment and large boulders downstream.
Water levels in rivers downstream rose by between seven and nine metres within a span of 30 minutes.
