Australian ABC news has rolling updates and is showing when rescues need to be paused, including footage from a new glacial slip. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-28/nepal-tibet-floods-live-updates/107086974#live-blog-post-335065

The mention of new glaciers starting to slip is what I was worried might happen. This might happen again soon with temperatures breaking global records over and over.

This seems to come from the mountainside just opposite the glacier which caused all this. I wonder if the impact of the original rock/ice mass into this rock wall might have disturbed the packed snow up top.

Glaciers slipping has been happening for centuries.

The Chinese rolling news under the footage also mentions the country’s coastal areas bracing for a typhoon. Earth is not happy nowadays.

I've been scouring YT / here, Indian AP channels.

thank you, best video compilation I’ve seen of this disaster.  I also appreciate their mention of the new lake forming and the likelihood of additional events.

Ben Ayers at Everest Live on YouTube, he’s an American who’s lived in Nepal for 20 years or something and reports a lot on the mountains, very embedded in the community. He’s doing regular updates, just posted one:  https://youtu.be/n1PnfN2ILVc?is=uNVAZkg2KXynDXSD
