Kathmandu, Nepal, bottom left. The city lies in a valley south of the Himalayas between Nepal and China. Glaciers, and the lakes formed by glacial meltwater, are visible in the top middle of this image. Many communities rely on meltwater from glaciers Ð and Landsat can help track how those glaciers are changing in a warming climate. Earlier imagery has documented the shrinkage of glaciers, and changing lake levels on the adjacent Tibetan plateau. Oct 31 2021, the first day of data collection for Landsat 9.
