Expedition Video Dispatches

Dig Tsho Outlet

This is the outlet of Dig Tsho glacial lake. In 1985, this is from where the Dig Tsho burst causing massive damages to the infrastructures in the downstream communities along with the Thame micro hydropower plant. On the video is the interview with a local man who call himself Pasang Namgel. Pasang is a 40 years old and he was in his shed (Yak) above the Dig Tsho lake (Probably, that's how the name came Dig Tsho). He says that the lake was very high before the GLOF happened in 1985, and suddenly one day, there was a heavy rainfall followed by snow fall. As a result of this, huge mass of snow fell from the Langboche glacier due to which the Dig Tsho GLOF event was triggered.
