The Most Dangerous Lake in Nepal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Lake 464 - so newly formed by glacial melt that it doesn't even have a name - may be a glacial lake outburst flood waiting to happen. This clip from the film Outburst, still in production, shows why.
The best way you can help Nepal is by visiting it .We don't need any donation because the donation may not reach to needy people .
Spending money in the local economy seems to me to be the healthiest if done judiciously. Just be aware that there is little democratic sense of equity or government, so spending on personally produced services and products seems best. Too much of anything is bad for you (& them).
Wow! Its Nepal. Its really makes proud to see the scene of home country.
Wow ! Taking leather boots and headband probably got to be only way out in those icy Himalayas ! Keep up the good work !
I love my Nepal bro from Pakistan
Thanks for the no-information scientific analysis, unqualified-internet-person!
"Over here to my right": points to his left
i really like the gentleman's sensible knowledgeable down-to-earth manner as he describes these things :-)
those Himalayan mountains are beautiful
Great...i love my nepal...I'm be proud to nepali...
fuck you
Respect from USA, your country is incredibly beautiful.

I love Nepal. I am from Bangladesh. FUCK INDIA.
mmm im a nepali bt havent been in these sort of places ,thanks for this video and the information of this particular place ,i really appreciate u people have been in nepal and love our country
JAYA NEPAL.....:)
Great music!
What a stunningly beautiful place. Why the hell do we strive to travel space when we do not know fully our own planet?? Billions on space travel yet we neglect our own race on our own stunning planet?? Go figure the human race!!
Damian Morgan If you enjoy seeing this on a PC, Tablet, cellphone or other device, thank the Space programs.
Quit being racist of asteroids and planets .
This place is gettable.
Anything gettable is not interesting.
Wow what an impressive background music...
love that guy! he should be an actor.
it's 2018 now, what has happened since the making of this video?? thanks
Heaven falls here... Nepal! 🇳🇵
very well documented, excellent footage, it would be nice to know that these villages are still thriving today
That music is AWESOME!!!
"A good supply of headbands, belts, and leather boots." Hilarious! What a sense of humor!
Suggestion: with just a large pipe/hose you could siphon water out of the lake to reduce it's water level. I am aware getting a pipe up there is another challenge, however it's the easiest solution to that problem. Thinking on this some more, a frozen pipe could be another problem to this suggestion. install a microhydro generator on the bottom end and have a heat tape inside the pipe to keep the water flowing. I have heard this was considered at another location with the same problem.
very impressive deed sir , the things nepali could not do u did and it is very informative to see and get knowledge about global warming too :) impressed
Can't they just siphon the water out, and then explode the morrain wall to prevent a similar buildup of water in the future?
Lake is at 27.47 degrees N, 86.57 degrees E, if anyone wants to check it out on google earth. It's only 23 km from Mt Everest!
Coordinates in DD format : 27.784528, 86.960045. What you gave were incorrect DMS format coordinates.
I was expecting that i will see a massive snow mass falling into the lake..
yeah,,,,,,some places in nepal are really wonderfull then we think
UA-cam recommended me after 9 years...
What beautiful children!
That's exactly what it is in fact. This lake may very well pose a threat but it is not an explosive device.
beautiful enchanting thanks
The last part was hilarious hahahaha all the leather stuffs anyways a part of joke the whole video was interesting and exploring.
OVER DRAMATIZED, YES
BUT GETTING LOST IN THE HIMALAYAS IS NO JOKE
its beautiful n potentially very dangerous at the same time. I hope plans are underway to minimize its threat
No wet feet for these heroes. (V.cold glacial melt).
This same phenomenon has occurred many times around the world. The one I am familiar with was in the Andes, Cordiera Blanca, about 30 years ago, which wiped out 12 or 13 villages when the natural dam, holding back a glacial lake, failed and (like a toilet flush) produced a massive flash flood/mud-slide which travelled 20miles & buried the homes, humans, livestock, and all, under 6-25' of mud & rock, leaving exposed above the hardened mud surface, random limbs of trees, livestock, and humans, lost almost without notice by the rest of the world.
So, 7 years have passed. Did the lake burst or was it all hype??
Love the Napoleon music
That was the most solid and stable looking terminal moraine i've ever seen. This lake presents zero risk to people below. The worst that could happen... a wave laps over the edge, but that moraine isn't going anywhere. Scare tactics to raise money much?
If no one lives in the valley, why is the threat of a flood so dire? Contradictory information.
pogeybait Threat is to the villages lying downstream.
most people live near water. water runs where it does for a reason, gravity and low points. if a surge compromises the far shore and causes it to allow deep water to come out... flash flood. 1ft of water can do a lot of damage.
Climate change is effecting Nepal so bad not only all the other countries that exists in the world
India is experiencing it's effect from many years.. our govt must take some precautions.
The music is by???
So beautiful!!!!!
Nice subtle humor there at the end re: leather.
Wow👌👌👌💗💗
Who is the guy in the video? What are his creds?
Jim: no, in fact, this lake had formed rapidly in the last thirty years, it has not been around for centuries! and it continues to grow rapidly, making it both current and dangerous. Time bomb is not hyperbole.
Update?
Awesome video, very informative! What mountain rises above it?
Thanks! That's Mt. Chamlang!
Thank you for the reply. Cheers!
its near MT. Everest
Waoooooooow my country is really really beautiful
and most beautiful too, i subscribed you
Hi Daniel...wondering if there are any updates on this lake since 2011? Also, do you travel to the area often? I am interested in traveling to many of these area to provide expedition support services. Would be interested in knowing more about your travels to the area. Thanks
Thanks very much for the info!!
I would be intrigued to hear what further aspects of the lake are going to be studied and what if any remedial or mitigating actions can be taken and the justification for those actions.
I love Nepal
huge amounts of cfc are still being produced and released in countries like india and china, it is inevitable that the world be polluted because of the system we choose to follow, you can make a change, spread the word
first you research or explore before giving ur opinion, i'm a layman too regarding this. I believe global warming has led to climatic changes resulting relatively numerous avalanches & glacier lakes around mountainous regions than centuries before. Isn't it ?
What song is used when they’re walking around in the beginning? Like an Indian lounge/club song and I love it!
blech71 its not indian music its nepali music played in monastries and gumbas..😀😀
Tsho Rolpa Lake.
Can You Film That???
What are the solutions to control outburst?
+b1v5
none?c'mon
Will this lake be monitored in any way? Apart from the people going up there..
Which lake is this, which district, is it tilicho
Chamlang South tsho
mikel respect to you sir from fiji lslands peace
I am rai
Just saying
And I am here because my science teacher told me to watch this video.
So it would create a lahar?
Slowly drain the lake and then open it up?
When he said 'It's so dangerous....It needs to be studied'. He's really just saying 'give me more money so I can hang out in the Nepalese Himalayas'.
go and vist rara lake its very beautiful in nepal
How old is this video.. I want to see the end! I'm Nepali ty'

I saw some of your other videos. This might be a dumb question but I am curious. How pure is the water in these lakes in the Himalayas? Can you drink from them without any sort of treatment?
Peter Cardena I'm afraid I don't know the answer the this question. I imagine glacier water at this altitude would be fairly safe as it wouldn't support much life. We still boil it for our own cooking and drinking.
+Peter Cardena for all i know its safer than the best treated drinking water .no question of risk.. kneel down in the stream facing opposite to the flow and join ur palms and drink from it straight... live unafraid :D
+HamiNepali because Giardia cares whether you are afraid of it or not
Yes, you can.
peter dont ask such a silly questions off course the water in 100 % pure in the himalays
"we have to build the bridge..." yeah, right? You mean you have asked Nepalese men to get into that freezing icy water and pick up those boulders and stone and build a path for you so you don't have to wait your shoes and trousers.
So why not fly a 8" semi rigid hose in and start slowly siphoning off water. If you can get the out flow somewhere far away from the weak spot then it won't erode the weak spot. Just let it slowly gravity feed out in a controlled manner. Hell it might even be able to provide running water to a village for a time.
That’s some extreme walking.
The Global Positioning System went active in 1993, this is dated 2011, why would these good folks be concerned about getting lost when they have GPS and Google Earth which went on line in 2005 ?
01:15 locals use Crocs to walk around... o_O
could just use a long 4" hose n slowly drain the lake using siphon and gravity - no pump required .... less water means higher rim edge and less chance a wave would break over it !!!
Take some condiments too - leather always tastes better after a good seasoning lol
It's not as dangerous as dramatized . But some few hundred ppl downstream needs to be shifted.
and what about in the lower region??
You think you can live on leather? BTW: I saw your GPS - something they didn't have when they got lost in 1962.
old news now, but over dramatized narration. I would imagine that by the size of that lake and the distance to the village that the damage would not be so great. I also don't get how you can get lost following a river downstream in a Alpine environment?
It looked like there entire assessment of the lake was unscientific. They didn't even measure the lake or the moraine. Also I think GPS might be a solid investment.
The earth is still dynamic, and beyond control.
We humans don't like that!
just let mother nature take care of the planet, who are you to change that?!
Robfra, either you missed the point I was trying to make, or I did not communicate it very effectively. To say that this is "The Most Dangerous Lake in Nepal", is shaky at best. Tell me my friend, what would you have to do to make that bold claim, "The Most Dangerous Lake in Nepal"? Please answer that. My take is if the statement became a question, then it would be more truthful, for example, "Is this the most dangerous lake in Nepal"?
I heard the acclimated? !! its acclimatised!!
How does one go about getting a job doing what you're doing?
time index 3:29 "over there to my right" as he extends his left hand to the left. Is this guy for real?
What happened after the last earthquake ?
koby surujon Good question... there's a lot of rumors going around and a lot of worry about Imja lake and others. So far no good data. HiMAP is trying to organize a helicopter flyover to assess, and a followup expedition to Imja.
Nepal fully recovered from earthquake
You can successfully visit here
+babin thapa Still not recover Mr
most of the historic and unesco heritage is been effect but not the smile and hospitality that we nepalese people have will never be effected koby......... we are same as before
Clearly, you haven't seen many terminal moraines then.
Cute kids😄❤
very short video......incomplete ......
Gtfo
Except he's RIGHT . . . It IS incomplete.
No way to cover it all. At least a toe in the water.
so what you gonna do? Build a new morain? Set up a warning system? Melt the ice slowly? Come in and set up your standards?
How do you get paid to take a vacation like this ??
Please study more and tell what and where actually the Nepal is..u guys r doing awesome work, well 👍👏🏻
Warming trends?
Salt and pepper? Tasty meal!
Umm why did they put Australian Aboriginal music into a video about Nepal?
I am not sure what good “studies” are going to do, unless solutions are reached. It seems to me, helicopters could be used to place large boulders and material to build up the end of the lake that is so at risk of being breached, like a natural dam. I suppose that would be very expensive and difficult though, in a country with scant resources. People all over the planet place themselves in areas where natural disasters could occur. It has always been so. The only real solution would be to relocate the villages at risk, which is unlikely. The best solution for now it seems, is an alarm system to alert those downstream in time to get to higher ground.
Why did you go through that huge process of building a bride over a 1 ft deep stream
Never knew leather to be so nutritious.
The english word "most" is the challenging word in this scenario. If the author said "A dangerous lake in Nepal", that would be accurate and truthful. In other words, to use the word "most", a person would have to have total knowledge. How many of us have that? At best, we have opinions.
You would have to explore EVERY lake in Nepal, do soil and strata testing. Even if you did that, you would have more knowledge, but you would not have total knowledge as to when the moraine would burst.
dig the tunes
Our Indian music is beautiful
fuck you india this is nepali music😡😡😡😠😠
anyway heaven lies here !! jay nepal
Sambidhan Lamichhane I will visit you guys this year :)
Holy Hell.
Copter in 3-4 large fire hoses and a pump.
Put one end of the hose in the lake and the other a few hundred feet below.
Use the pump to start the siphon, then go home. Come back in a few months and the lake will be substantially lower. Leave it and assuming you havethe end of the hose ta the bottom, the lake will be a puddle.
Good idea, but I have one question. Is this lake higher than the elevation that copter can fly at? I guess you could pack in the necessary equipment as an alternative though.
