Park Jong-woo: Manaslu Glacier, Manaslu Himal, Nepal, 1999

On the area leading up to the bottom of Mt Manaslu in Nepal there are lakes and ice slush rivers forming during the spring season. The melting glacier has created huge new lakes which are expanding alarmingly. Scientists are concerned that there will be catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods in the future that could kill thousands of people downstream. Climate change has caused glaciers in the Himalayas to retreat at a rate never seen before.
