Attabad Lake

Attabad Lake, also known as Hunza Lake is a lake in the Hunza Valley of northern Pakistan created in January 2010 by a  landslide

The lake was formed due to a massive landslide at Attabad village in Gilgit-Baltistan, 9 miles (14 km) upstream (east) of Karimabad that occurred on January 4, 2010.
