New Glacier formed in Gilgit Baltistaan



This is to acknowledge SAMA TV Channel for reporting about the New Glacier formed in Gilgit Baltistaan in northern areas of Pakistan. Although we know that climate change is affecting our frozen areas but a new glacier is formed, for which the scientists are keen to carry out research about this new phenomenon. It is reported that this area has more than seven thousands Glaciers, but most of the glaciers are melting due to climate change or global warming. It is observed that some of the glaciers have been melted upto 4 kms around, but this new Glacier named as PARI GOOSH in the area of PASU in Gilgit Baltistaan is in expansion position. The scientists are deeply thinking about its formation and location. We have heard about the frozen lands like Antarctica and Siberian glaciers are also melting but this new occurrences may lead to new path in Climatic studies in the days ahead.
