Global warming is causing a new phenomenon described as “glacier detachment”. According to research meltwater caused by warmer summers results in an “increase in water pressure under the glacier” eventually causing part of it to detach. This is believed to be affecting the Aru glacier in Tibet where, in 2016, ice and rock suddenly surged down a narrow valley killing nine herders along with hundreds of sheep and yaks.
