The villages small town were divided in two layers. This layers has the small settlements. Data were collected in the field and ffrom existing maps and local information.
-
CKNP Core Zone has been produced in the framework of the SEED Project
-
The glaciers of Central Karakorum National Park, the world’s largest glacial area outside of the Polar Regions.
-
A 160 m ice core (Core 1) was recovered from Eclipse Icefield, St. Elias Mountains, Yukon, Canada, (60.51°N, 139.47°W, 3017 m elevation) in 1996. Two additional cores, 345m (Core 2) and 130m (Core 3) in length, were recovered in 2002.

One of the most important results of Glaciers & Students Project is the publication of the book that describes the activities end the methods adopted for the recognition and mapping of the 13,032 glaciers in Pakistan in the three ranges of Himalaya, Karakorum and Hindukush. The analysis of the satellite of 2022 gives a precise delineation of the surface of the glaciers and gives the possibility to verify the trend that happened in the last 30 years comparing the previous inventory with the new one. The knowledge of the places that host the glaciers of Pakistan is presented in this book with a series of maps of the 62 basins that occupy the Northern areas of Pakistan. The maps are published with scales aimed at a clear representation of the glacier distribution in each basin. To facilitate the recognition of glaciers in some wide basins, the zoom panels represented in the boxes were produced at the most suitable scale.

The Tourism Map of the CKNP has been realised using field data collected with GPS positions and dedicated tracks. All the informations are validated by experts and local persons.
-
The main peaks of Central Karakorum National Park. Most elevations are above 1500 m a.s.l. and more than half of the area is well above 4500 m a.s.l., including K-2, Nanga Parbat, Gashbrum-I, II, and Broad Peak.
-
In this layer, the main villages of the CKNP are shown.
-
The data represents the new Central Karakoram National Park (CKNP) limit proposed in the document of the Management Plan in 2012. The data comprises the limit of the Core zone, as defined in the Management Plan

A 160 m ice core was recovered in June 1996 from Eclipse Icefield (60.51 degrees N, 139.47 degrees W, 3017 m elevation). Visible stratigraphy (location and thickness of ice layers) and density measurements were made in the field, and then the core was shipped frozen to the University of New Hampshire. The core was continuously sampled in 10 cm segments, corresponding to a minimum of 12 samples per year. Above the firn-ice transition which occurs at 45 m depth, core was scraped on an acrylic lathe system under a laminar flow bench using a titanium scraper so that all surface and sub-surface contamination from the drilling process was removed. Below the firn-ice transition, samples were cut into 3 x 3 cm pieces 10 cm long and the middle of the samples melted out using a custom made melter also used to sample the GISP2 ice core. Samples were analyzed for major ions (Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl-, NO3-, SO42-) using a Dionex model 2010 ion chromatograph in a dedicated laboratory at the University of New Hampshire. The cation system used a CS12A column with CSRS-ultra suppressor in auto suppression recycle mode with 20 mM MSA eluent. The anion system used an AS11 column with an ASRS-ultra suppressor in auto suppression recycle mode with 6 mM NaOH eluent. Analytical precision was monitored by analyzing 10% of the samples in duplicate and found to be 11% for K+, 10% for NH4+, 7% for Na+, and less than 5% for all other species. Aliquots of the same samples were also analyzed for oxygen isotopes (delta 18O) at the Stable Isotope Laboratory in Copenhagen, Denmark (precision ± 0.05‰). Chronology of the Eclipse ice core is based on multi-parameter annual layer counting of seasonal oscillations in the stable isotope and major ion records (especially Na+ and NH4+). Age control on the chronology established via annual layer counting is provided by the 1963 and 1961 beta activity reference horizons and volcanic reference horizons identified by statistical analysis of the sulfate record and verified by tephrochronology. The resulting time scale indicates that the Eclipse 1996 ice core covers the period 1894 to 1996, with dating error in the core estimated to be +1 year based on the number of independently dated horizons. The chemical data presented here are at sub-annual resolution, and annually averaged. Data for the years 1894, 1995, and 1996 are incomplete and not included in the annual averages.
