Nanda Devi Glacier

Nanda Devi Glacier is a glacier in Chamoli district,[1] Uttarakhand, India. It is near Nanda Devi.

The Nanda Devi Group of glaciers is a reference to the cluster of seven glaciers namely Bartoli, Kururntoli, Nada Devi North, Nanda Devi South, Nandakna, Ramani and Trsul of Uttarakhand.[2]

The glacier rose to fame, due to its breaking, which led to the 2021 Uttarakhand flood. Climate change has been suggested to have contributed to the disaster.[3]
