Captured by surveillance cameras at Oytagh Glacier Park in Akto County, the viral video shows nature's raw power as snow cascaded from Chakragil peak in the Kunlun Mountains.
The footage reveals a tsunami-like \"snow wall\" towering tens of meters high, swallowing the valley in under a minute ❄️. While no casualties were reported, experts say the rapid accumulation highlights the unpredictable beauty of glacial regions. The park, known for its epic landscapes, remains closed temporarily for safety checks.
