![]() ![]() ![]() Such breaking of glacier will have pronounced impact on the hydrology of rivers originating from the Himalayan cryosphere. This type of activity is getting more prevalent in the Himalayan cryosphere due to change in the precipitation and temperature increase. ![]() The accumulation area turns to become a “glacieret” with no dynamics. Finally the ablation part melts faster and disappears. The supraglacial lakes and the exposed ice cliffs of the lakes receive more solar radiation and fasten the melting of glacier ice. Many supraglacial activities such as formation of large supraglacial lakes, exposing ice cliffs initiated in the broken ablation zone of the glacier. As the glaciers not receiving any ice mass from accumulation zone, the mass balance will be always negative. This activity is mentioned here as “One-By-Two” phenomenon. The glacier broken as two separate bodies the accumulation zone and ablation zone are separated. A proglacial lake formed at the evacuated historical terminus of the glacier bounded by the lateral moraines. The glacier recession is active and glacier thinning is seriously observed in Lirung glacier. The study of a debris covered glacier – Lirung glacier ( 28.241 N, 85.556 E), Lantan sub-basin of Gandaki river, Nepal through remote sensing and field survey reveals the glacier dynamics. Himalayan glaciers are quite reliable indicators of changes in the climate system. ![]()
