Summary:
- The article discusses a recent study that highlights the threat of hanging glaciers in the Himalayas, which could pose a significant risk to millions of people living in the region.
- Hanging glaciers are large masses of ice that are precariously balanced on steep mountain slopes, and they can break off and cause devastating floods and landslides.
- The study found that there are thousands of such hanging glaciers in the Himalayas, and as the climate continues to warm, the risk of these glaciers collapsing is increasing, putting communities downstream at risk.
