'''Nanda Devi Glacier''' is a [[List of glaciers of India|glacier]] in [[Chamoli district]],<ref name="The Indian Express">{{Cite web |date=February 7, 2021 |title=Nanda Devi glacier burst: What we know so far |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/uttarakhand-glacier-burst-all-you-need-to-know-7178580/ |access-date=2021-02-13}}</ref> [[Uttarakhand]], [[India]]. It is near [[Nanda Devi]].<br />
<br />
The ''Nanda Devi Group'' of glaciers is a reference to the cluster of seven glaciers namely Bartoli, Kururntoli, Nada Devi North, Nanda Devi South, Nandakna, [[Ramani Glacier|Ramani]] and [[Trisul Glacier|Trsul]] of [[Uttarakhand]].<ref name="Nanda Devi Group of Glaciers">{{Cite web |title=Nanda Devi Group of Glaciers |url=https://www.euttaranchal.com/tourism/nanda-devi-group-of-glaciers.php}}</ref><br />
<br />
The glacier rose to fame, due to its breaking, which led to the [[2021 Uttarakhand flood]]. [[Climate change]] has been suggested to have contributed to the disaster.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Climate Crisis Likely Behind Deadly Glacier Collapse in India |url=https://www.ecowatch.com/glacier-collapse-india-climate-crisis-2650400363.html}}</ref><br />
