On January 4, 2010, a landslide blocked the river and created Attabad Lake (also called Shishket Lake). The new lake extends 30 kilometers (19 mi) and rose to a depth of 400 feet (120 m) when it was formed. Ibex, Markhor, Snow leopards (if you are lucky) and Yak’s may be found on the way to Khunjerab pass.
