a The maps highlight the expansion rate of glacial lakes between 1990 and 2023 (areas ≥ 0.01 km2). The bars, which vary in color and size, represent the rate of glacial lake area expansion and the total area of glacial lakes in the study area. The size of the bars indicates the glacial lake area in 2023. The histograms present the frequency of the glacial lakes in terms of their size (b) and elevation (c).
