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 lake flooding has displaced 6,000 people from
upstream villages, stranded (from land transportation routes) a
further 25,000,[6] and inundated over 12 miles (19 km) of the
Karakoram Highway
