Riding on mountain roads is a risky task, and one should do it with utmost caution. We have come across several videos in the past that show the risk involved while driving through mountain roads. Here we have one such video where a foreigner riding a bike in the Himalayas narrowly escapes from getting crushed under falling rocks. The video was posted on YouTube and other social media platforms a few weeks ago. Also Read: Ola Electric CEO Bhavish Aggarwal Announces 8 year Warranty for S1 Range Of Electric Scooters…

Vasudev Jaggi, now widely known as Sadhguru, has been embarking on motorcycle journeys around the world for many years. Recently, he concluded his trip in the USA, riding a BMW K1600 GT. In India, he chose to ride with a group of followers to Kedarnath, and for this ride, he opted for a modified Honda Africa Twin equipped with an Akrapovic exhaust system. In the video, Sadhguru is seen inspecting the motorcycle before setting off with the group to Jim Corbett, then continuing the journey to Rishikesh and Gaurikund,…

By slowing meltwater down or spraying it into the air, people cause it to refreeze, often into shapes…

Elements for reconstructing the volume of collapsed rockslide material in the Sabche cirque and the initial rockslide failure surface. Maps of the base (a) and top (b) of the rock-avalanche brecciated deposits, including the interpolation constraints, and present-day residual thickness of the breccia deposits (c). d, Sabche rockslide scar identification from the transverse curvature (m−1) computed from the high-resolution (2-m pixel) topography.

A new study in Nature Geoscience reveals that mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in the greater Himalaya has been significantly underestimated by 6.5% due to satellite limitations in detecting underwater changes. This has major implications for future projections of glacier disappearance and water resources in the region. The study, conducted by an international team of researchers, found that proglacial lakes increased by 47% in number, 33% in area, and 42% in volume from 2000 to 2020. This expansion led to an…

This image captured by the US Landsat mission features Galong Co lake. New research published in Nature Geoscience reveals that the ice loss from Himalayan glaciers flowing into lakes has been underestimated by an average of 6.5% between 2000 and 2020. This underestimation has critical implications for predicting the region’s glacier demise and managing water resources for over 1.3 billion people in Asia.
