In May 2025, which glacier of Nepal was declared dead?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Yala Glacier

Explanation:
• Yala Glacier, located in the Langtang region of Nepal, was reported to have completely melted or lost its status as a functional glacier in 2025.
• This is a significant indicator of climate change in the Himalayas.
• Scientists had been monitoring its rapid retreat for decades.

Information Booster:
• The Himalayas are often called the "Third Pole".
• ICIMOD (International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development) monitors these changes.

Additional Knowledge:
Khumbu Glacier (Option b)
• The highest glacier in the world, still active but thinning.
Veena Glacier (Option c)
• Not a prominent glacier in the context of recent climate reports.
Imja Glacier (Option d)
• Known for its rapidly growing glacial lake, but not declared dead.

So the correct answer is (a)
