Abstract
Changes on glacial lakes are crucial indicators for the climate
change. Detection of glacial lakes changes is becoming very important, and its
result will predict the risk of glacial lake outburst flood
Result
The two glacial lakes had been calculated in 1976, 1992, 2000,
and 2008 in order to evaluate changes of glacial lakes. Comparison during
thirty-two years shows that both
