A large section of the Ulter Glacier in Hunza broke off yesterday, triggering an avalanche that swept through parts of the valley. Ulter Glacier is one of the dozen glaciers located in Hunza, a region known for its rugged terrain and scenic beauty.
Residents of Hunza experienced unusual weather conditions during the incident, and strong winds continued to disrupt daily life in the valley even the following day.
Experts noted that while avalanches typically occur in Hunza during March and April, the occurrence of a snow slide in November is unusual and indicates the ongoing effects of climate change. Authorities and local experts are monitoring the area for any further risks to the population and infrastructure.
