Cordillera Vilcabamba | Río Santa Teresa with landslide

WI_pe130_111_547.jpg

View up the Río Santa Teresa in the vicinity of Winaypocco in S direction. Satellite imagery of 2017 already showed clear traces of landsliding on the slope in the centre of the scene. The glacial lake outburst flood process chain of 2020 resulted in river bank erosion and, as a consequence, reactivation and enlargement of the landslide.
