Yigong Tsangpo landslide of 9 April 2000; picture taken 5 June 2002.
View upstream from about 1 km below the landslide dam, seen in the centre of the picture.

 The landslide came from a steep side valley to the north (right in this picture), which enters the main valley just this side of the steep dark ridge on the right. The landslide dam is up to 130m high.
