A newly formed lake in the disaster zone is overflowing and could trigger another downstream. Satellite imagery suggests the new lake sits in the same area where a glacial detachment occurred on Wednesday, setting off the original disaster. The lake sits at roughly 2,950 meters elevation — about 1,000 meters above Gyirong Port, the Nepal-China border crossing that was engulfed by the original flood.
