Before and After Space Pics Reveal Massive Ice Avalanche
One of the world's largest, and most mysterious ice avalanches was recently visualized in stunning pictures from space.
A huge sliver of ice split off from a vast glacier in the Aru Mountains of Tibet, falling nearly 0.6 miles (1 kilometre) before tumbling through a narrow gully and plunging into a nearby lake.
When the ice and rock settled, the avalanche debris spanned 4 square miles (10 square km) and was 98 feet (30 m) thick. The massive avalanche killed nine people, 350 sheep and 110 yaks that lived in the village of Dungru.
