View up the Río Santa Teresa in the vicinity of Lloska Mayu in SE direction. The landslide (outer bank, right foreground of the picture) was already visible in satellite imagery of 2017. The glacial lake outburst flood process chain of 2020 possibly resulted in river bank erosion and, as a consequence, reactivation of the landslide.
