From 1962 to 2006, a close-up view of changes in the glacier area surrounding the North and South Lhonak glaciers, highlighting changes in the proglacial lakes.[1]
South Lhonak Lake is a glacial-moraine-dammed lake, located in Sikkim's far northwestern region.[2] It is one of the fastest expanding lakes in the Sikkim Himalaya region, and one of the 14 potentially dangerous lakes susceptible to Glacial lake outburst flood (GLOFs).[3][4]
