  abstract = {{A} set of supraglacial ponds filled rapidly between {A}pril and {J}uly 2017 on {C}hangri {S}har {G}lacier in the {E}verest region of {N}epal, coalescing into a similar to 180 000 m(2) lake before sudden and complete drainage through {C}hangri {S}har and {K}humbu glaciers (15-17 {J}uly). {W}e use {P}lanet{S}cope and {P}leiades satellite orthoimagery to document the system's evolution over its very short filling period and to assess the glacial and proglacial effects of the outburst flood. {W}e also use high-resolution stereo digital elevation models ({DEM}s) to complete a detailed analysis of the event's glacial and geomorphic effects. {F}inally, we use discharge records at a stream gauge 4 km downstream to refine our interpretation of the chronology and magnitude of the outburst. {W}e infer largely subsurface drainage through both of the glaciers located on its flow path, and efficient drainage through the lower portion of {K}humbu {G}lacier. {T}he drainage and subsequent outburst of 1.36 +/- 0.19 x 10(6) m(3) of impounded water had a clear geomorphic impact on glacial and proglacial topography, including deep incision and landsliding along the {C}hangri {N}up proglacial stream, the collapse of shallow englacial conduits near the {K}humbu terminus and extensive, enhanced bank erosion at least as far as 11 km downstream below {K}humbu {G}lacier. {T}hese sudden changes destroyed major trails in three locations, demonstrating the potential hazard that short-lived, relatively small glacial lakes pose.},
