Before the flood. November,...

Before the flood. November, 1994. The Sabai Tsho Lake is clearly visible.
In 1998 an earthquake struck this region causing the moraine dam to collapse, releasing the waters of the lake.
Our orange tents at Tangnag (14,000') are visible in the lower left. See after the flood photos for comparison.
