Recently, an avalanche occurred at Mustag Peak Glacier No. 2 in Aktau County, Xinjiang. A number of visitors recorded images of the avalanche with their mobile phones. A large amount of snow and ice poured down the mountain from the summit, instantly forming a wall of snow, fog, and snow hundreds of meters high, and rushing forward through the valley with ice and snow debris wrapped around it. The reporter learned from the fire department that the avalanche occurred in an uninhabited area, far from the main traffic road, and did not cause any injuries or property damage. According to information, the main peak of Mustag Peak is 7,546 meters above sea level, and the summit has been covered with ice, snow and glaciers for hundreds of millions of years. Glacier 2 is a high-risk area that is not open to the public, and the risk of glacier activity is high. The Culture and Tourism Bureau of Aktau County issued a notice on September 5 reminding visitors that the unopened high-risk control area of Mustag Peak has complex terrain, variable climate, high safety hazards, poor communication signals, and extremely poor rescue conditions. Unauthorized entry into the unopened high-risk control area is strictly prohibited, and all dangerous activities such as sightseeing, hiking, exploration, crossing, and photography are prohibited.
