Attabad Lake, Gojal, also known as Gojal Lake, is a lake in the Gojal Valley of northern Pakistan created in January 2010 by a landslide dam. 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. The landslide killed twenty people and blocked the flow of the Hunza River for five months. The Gojal Valley, which is worst affected as a result of this lake, is home to three rare ethnic groups, namely the Wakhi (80%), Burushaski (18%), and Domaki (2%).[18] The entire population of Domaki speakers, a very small minority and historically marginalized community, was displaced from their village of Shishkat. The Wakhi and Burushaski speaking minority ethnic groups have also been affected severely as a result of the disaster.
