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.[5] The landslide killed twenty people and blocked
the flow of the Hunza River for five months. The lake flooding
has displaced 6,000 people from upstream villages,
stranded (from land transportation routes) a further
25,000, and inundated over 12 miles (19 km)
of the Karakoram Highway.
