Nepal’s army has finished draining a dangerous lake near Mount Everest. Officials say it’s the highest drainage project of its kind in the world. The equipment was airlifted up to 5,000 metres for the work. It’s vital to protect communities downstream and prevent flooding. Scientists say global warming makes glaciers melt fast and lakes get filled up.
