In Pakistan-administered Gilgit-Baltistan, glaciers are under threat.
This is part of an area referred to by some as the Third Pole; a place which has more ice than any other part of the world outside the polar regions.
But climate change is altering the landscape across Gilgit-Baltistan and neighbouring Chitral, researchers say.
According to the Aga Khan Development Network, more than 48,000 people are considered to be at high risk from a lake outburst or landslide.

The empire now has a climate change denier on the throne. God save the King.

Global Cooling = Human Extinction
There are times when we used to visit glaciers. Now glaciers are at our doorstep. We don't need to visit them anymore. Karakoram Anomaly has ended meaning there will be more floods in coming years.

@Jc-ms5vv lol so many presumptions. Just how long do we have left?
I’m a farmer in Ireland and I have been working with the land like my farther and grandfathers, all our life. No change here thus far. If you’re so confident about what you are being told, just how long do we have and what will the change look like? I so look forward to your reply. That’s a straight forward question that I am sure and educated person like yourself will have no problem in answering.
Thank you BBC very helpful advice… don’t build your house on a cliff… next to a river… next to a forest… in a desert etc etc
Wow! India is truly beautiful !
People living here are more educated & liberal than the mainland Pakistan
Gilgit Baltista is Indian territory which is illegally occupied by Pakistan. India will soon have the entire Pok
Even if the country is not rich, the land is stunning, along with its beautiful people.
How wonderful it looks
Aziz…light!
All that means is that they did it. But they didn't try very hard… it didn't really work out, and they promise they won't do it again.
