This picture was taken on Friday 20th May 2011 - this lake has grown by 35 million cubic metres since 1960. It is due to global warming causing the glacier next to it to melt.

Scientists are predicting a 'vertical tsunami' when this lake bursts its banks washing away everything in it's path - that will mean villages, bridges and people!!
