Himalayan Glacial Lakes See 10.81% Expansion, Heightened Risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods
The HinduHimalayan glacial lakes saw a significant area expansion from 2011 to 2024 due to climate change, posing a potential risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). The total inventory area of glacial lakes within India was 1,962 hectares in 2011 and has increased to 2,623 hectares in 2024, with a 33.7% increase. The lakes in India experienced an even more substantial rise, with 67 lakes witnessing over 40% increases in surface area. The rapid expansion of these lakes is attributed to accelerated melting of glaciers due to rising temperatures in the region, with potentially severe consequences for downstream communities, infrastructure and biodiversity.
