The glacial lake in Himachal Pradesh called Gepang Gath has grown by 178% over the last 40 years, from 36.49 to 101.30 hectares by 2022, according to ISRO satellite imagery. An annual increase of 1.96 hectares is warned by ISRO, indicating increased risk. Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), which are caused by avalanches and severe weather, pose a threat to communities located downstream. Severe flooding brought on by recent GLOFs in Sikkim damaged infrastructure and raised questions about what might happen in the future.
