A landslide triggered by torrential rains in northern Pakistan has created a massive artificial lake in the Hunza valley, inundating several villages.<br /><br />Thousands of people are stranded in the highly mountainous region and forced to use boats to get around on icy waters.<br /><br />The slide has also blocked the only road between Pakistan and China - disrupting a vital trade link between the two countries that brings in almost half a billion dollars each year.<br /><br />And the fast-approaching summer season will further melt glaciers and snow caps - posing an even bigger danger. <br /><br />Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder reports from the Hunza valley.<br /><br />[March 13, 2010]
