Photos: A Deadly Flood Tears Through Nepal and Tibet

Massive flash flooding has devastated the Nepal-Tibet border region, resulting in at least 273 confirmed deaths. The disaster was triggered by an ice avalanche high in the Himalayas, which tumbled thousands of feet and released immense energy, transforming ice into a significant volume of flood water. Search operations are currently underway for hundreds of missing tourists. The catastrophic event has caused widespread destruction across the affected areas of Nepal and Tibet as rescue efforts continue.
