Avalanche hits glacier in China's Xinjiang, no casualties or damage reported

An avalanche recently struck Glacier No. 2 on Muztagh Ata in Akto County, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Several tourists captured the scene on their phones.

The avalanche occurred in an uninhabited area far from major roads, with no casualties or property damage, according to the local fire department.

Large amounts of snow and ice cascaded down the mountain, sending a huge cloud of snow and ice debris rushing through the valley.

The main peak of Muztagh Ata stands at an elevation of 7,546 meters and has been covered in snow and glaciers for millions of years.

Glacier No. 2 is a high-risk area not open to the public, and local authorities have warned against unauthorized entry or any activities that pose safety risks.
