Quebrada Humantay with landslide

WI_pe130_111_541.jpg

View upstream, Salkantay Trek with hikers on the right side. The glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) process chain of 2020 has eroded the banks of the flow channel, resulting in many landslides, e.g. in the left portion of the scene. Some of them might have temporarily blocked the river, with the consequence of secondary dam-break floods.
