Uttarakhand, Feb 9 (EFE/EPA).- The recent Himalayan disaster in north India that killed 29 may have been caused by a landslide and not a glacial rupture as believed earlier, a geologist said on Tuesday after analyzing satellite imagery.The images captured before and after the disaster indicate that the massive flooding in the northern state of Uttarakhand was triggered by a pile of freshly-accumulated snow that collapsed into a ridge area, bringing columns of mud and rocks downstream.Santosh Kumar Rai, who heads the glacial studies at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology in the state capital Dehradun, told EFE that it might not have been because of part of a glacial lake outburst as was widely reported earlier.
