Swedish glaciologist warns of Nepal-style glacier collapse risk

A Swedish glaciologist warns that Sweden's glaciers possess the conditions for a catastrophic collapse similar to the 2023 Nepal event, citing a 'dangerous cocktail' of factors. The claim is an expert risk assessment, not an observed event, and its likelihood and timing remain uncertain. This matters as it flags a potential glacial hazard in a region not typically associated with such disasters.
