Now, climate change seems to be taking a toll on this landmark!
Recent research has shown that the skeletons don’t all come from one tragic event. Instead, they belong to different groups of people who died over 1000 years. This discovery, made by an international team( India, the US, and Germany) in 2019, rewrote the lake’s history.
But now, the lake itself is becoming the biggest mystery. Forest officials report that Roopkund Lake shrinking is happening in both depth and width each year. The culprit? Changing weather patterns!
The area usually gets a mix of snow and rain. Recently, there’s been more rain and less snow. This change is causing soil and rocks to slide into the lake, slowly filling it up.
Experts believe climate change might be behind these shifts as global temperatures rise.
