N2  - A flood that killed at least 200 people and damaged two hydroelectric power plants in February was caused by a massive avalanche of rock and glacier ice. Researchers used satellite images, eyewitness accounts and computer models to discover that an unusually fluid mix of water and material crumbled from the steep face of a mountain called Ronti Peak, dropping several kilometres at speeds of up to 60 metres per second. A 500-metre scar on the face of Ronti Peak, captured by satellite, shows the scale of the landslide.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
