摘要
One of the prominent impacts of climate change induced glacier retreat in the Himalayas is the formation and expansion of glacial lakes. The newly formed glacial lakes are mostly located in higher altitudinal regions (4200-5800 m) of Himalaya, however, a new glacial lake (Kapuche, 28.446 degrees N and 84.116 degrees E) have been reported to be emerged in the relatively low elevation area of similar to 2450 m above sea level (masl) in the Nepal Himalaya. This short communication presents the remote sensing-based evolution and field-based bathymetry of Kapuche lake, and further discusses its formation process and lake type for being a glacial lake at the lowest elevation in Nepal Himalaya.
