‘Catastrophic’ 2023 lake outburst in India driven by glacial melt and permafrost thaw
#ClimateChange played a key role in the “catastrophic” 2023 floods in the Himalayan state of Sikkim in #India, a new study says.
The breach of one of the “largest, fastest-growing and most hazardous” glacial lakes in Sikkim, the South #Lhonak lake, led to cascading floods that killed 55 people and washed away a 1,200 megawatt (MW) #hydropower dam.
The event was identified as a glacial lake outburst flood (#GLOF), which is a sudden release of water from a lake fed by glacial melt.
#Sikkim is a small Himalayan state in north-east India, bordering #China in the north, #Bhutan in the east, #Nepal in the west and the state of West #Bengal in the south.
Part of the eastern #Himalaya, Sikkim is host to more than 90 #glaciers and #Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest peak. Sikkim serves as the origin and upper river basin for the #Teesta river, one of the largest tributaries of the #Brahmaputra river system.

The Kanchenjunga Conservation Area (KCA) is a high mountain protected area (MPA) in eastern Nepal undergoing socioeconomic and environmental changes that are unprecedented in the region’s history. In the following paper, we discuss recent changes involving new road construction, climate change, adventure tourism, and the wildlife/forest cover/medicinal plant sectors. Our assessments are based on the collective results of past and recent field research, remote sensing analysis, oral histories, and literature reviews. While similar changes are occurring in MPAs throughout Nepal, it is suggested that the KCA differs from other regions in that it still retains the option of conducting detailed feasibility, environmental, and impact assessments prior to the implementation of major change-associated projects, particularly the construction of roads. In turn, the KCA might avoid many of the environmental, social, and economic problems experienced elsewhere in Nepal, while enhancing its status, income-generating capacities, and sustainability as a global destination for adventure, nature, and cultural tourism.
