More on the Seti River Flood / Debris Flow
May 30, 2012 | NASA Earth Observatory

“Fresh, light-colored debris filled the channel of Nepal’s Seti River after a catastrophic flood and debris flow on May 5, 2012. The flow was triggered by a rockfall high in the Himalaya, about 18 miles away. The landslide occurred on a nearly vertical cliff face just south of Annapurna IV’s 24,688-foot summit. Debris from the landslide fell a total of over 11,000 feet into the headwaters of the Seti River.” Image from May 20, 2012. Quoted from the NASA image release.
