ArabiaWeather.com- Director of the Gladiator and Geophysics Laboratories at the French "Joseph Fourier" University, Christian Vanson, confirmed that the high temperatures are not the only ones responsible for the collapse of snow masses from the top of the "Everest" mountains , which killed 16 Nepalese guides on April 18. , which has not happened since climbing the summit of Everest, which reaches a height of 8848 meters since 1953, but also due to the Indian monsoon that led to the flying of snow masses.

The expert group believes that other collapses will occur from this year until the end of this century, as a result of the Indian monsoon.

Also, these snows are melting, which reduces the thickness of these snow masses by about 15 centimeters, from the period from 1999 to 2011, compared to 1.1 meters of snow layers that are lost annually from above the Alps, and that these avalanches will multiply due to climate changes and the rise in temperature .
