Langtang Village by Delhi photographer Simon de Trey-White

Tamang women weeding a field of millet in Langtang Village, Langtang Valley, Nepal, 30th May 2009

According to Dorothea Stumm, a glaciologist at the Nepal-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, a massive hanging glacier cracked when an earthquake struck at 11.56am on the 25th April 2015. The ice formed a cloud that gathered snow and rocks and then funnelled down the mountain, burying the village, and creating an enormous pressurised blast. 400 residents of the village and up to 100 trekkers are believed to have been killed.
