1. Hunza Valley – Attabad Lake, created
 in 2010
 • Earthquakes weakened slopes resulted in
 the formation of a lake in 2010
 • 19 people killed, displacing 25,000 people
 and destroying part of the Karakorum
 Highway
2. Landslide lake on the Tsarap River,
 December 2014
 • 2010 earthquake caused landslide,
 initially blocking river ow, until 2015
 when the lake burst
 • Vulnerable downstream local settlements
 are isolated from easy support in this
 glaciated mountainous landscape
3. Kashmir Avalanche, 2012
 • Extreme weather (–70 degrees Celsius)
 and heavy snowfall
 • 135 dead at an army base on the
 Siachen glacier, close to a contested
 border between Pakistan and India
