On August 30, a press conference on the “8.26” landslide disaster in Geelong, Tibet was held in Jilong Town. On the morning of August 26, a landslide disaster occurred on the Nepalese side, causing serious casualties and loss of connectivity at Geelong Port in Jilong County, Shigatse City, Tibet. It was explained at the conference that this disaster was caused by glacier instability under the long-term effects of climate warming. The disaster occurred suddenly, the flood peak flow was high, the operation speed was fast, the damage was strong, and the impact was wide. This is also a new prominent feature of the cryosphere disaster on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and surrounding areas. Through monitoring, it was discovered that it was only about 6 to 7 minutes from the time the ice collapse occurred until it hit China's Geelong Port.
