This is in the Indian Himalaya
Samudra Tupa Glacier is one of the largest in the Chenab Basin, India

The retreat is noted by Kulkarni, 2009 as 13 meters/year during the study period. From 2002 to 2011 the glacier retreated nearly 200 m, closer to 20 meters/year. The retreat of this glacier is less than that of other large glaciers nearby Sara Umaga and Gangotri. The loss in glaciated area in the basin of 21% is also similar to other areas in the Altai, Tibet, Nepal Himalaya, Khumbu Nepal and Tien Shan.

Wow. All that in 2000-2017. Seems more like weather.

You do know glaciers advance and retreat; don't you?

Why does it seem more like weather?
