Karakorum je veliki planinski venac koji se proteže između Pakistana, Indije i Kine. Nalazi se u oblastima Gilgit-Baltistan (Pakistan), Ladah (Indija) i Sinkjang (Kina). Karakorum je deo Hindukuško-himalajskog venca i mesto najveće kocentracije vrhova preko 8000 m na svetu, među kojima je i K2, drugi najviši vrh na svetu sa 8.611 m.[1][2] Karakorum ima osamnaest vrhova preko 7.500 m (24.600 ft) u visinu, od kojih četiri prelaze 8.000 m (26.000 ft):[3] K2, drugi najviši vrh na svetu sa 8.611 m (28.251 ft), Gašerbram I, Široki vrh i Gašerbram II.
Opseg je dugačak oko 500 km (311 mi) i predstavlja deo sveta sa najvećom glacijacijom van polarnih regiona. Glečer Sijačen[4][5][6][7] na 76 km (47 mi) i glečer Bijafo[8] na 63 km (39 mi) rangiraju se kao drugi i treći najduži glečeri na svetu izvan polarnih regiona.[9] Karakorum je sa severoistoka orkružen Tibetom, a sa severa Pamirom. Južnu granicu Karakoruma čine, od zapada ka istoku, reke Gilgit, Ind i Šajok, koji odvajaju venac od severozapadnog dela Himalaja, pošto ove reke teku na jugozapad prema pakistanskim ravnicama.
Nacionalni rezervat prirode Takskorgan i Nacionalni rezervat prirode Pamir Vetlands u planinama Karalorun i Pamir nominovani su za uključivanje u UNESCO spisak 2010. godine od strane Nacionalne komisije Narodne Republike Kine i uslovno su dodati na listu.[10]
Etimologija[uredi | uredi izvor]
Karakorum je turski izraz koji znači „crni šljunak”. Centralnoazijski trgovci prvobitno su primenjivali ovaj izraz na prevoj Karakorum.[11] Rani evropski putnici, uključujući Vilijama Murkrofta i Džordža Hejvorda, počeli su da koriste termin Karakorum za planinski lanac zapadno od prevoja, iako su takođe koristili izraz „Muztagh” (u prevodu „Ledena planina“) za lanac koji je danas poznat kao Karakorum.[11][12] Na kasniju terminologiju uticale su geodete iz Indije, posebno Tomas Montgomeri koji je 1850-ih dao oznake od K1 do K6 (K za Karakorum) za šest visokih planina vidljivih iz njegove stanice na planini Haramuk, u dolini Kašmira.
U tradicionalnoj indijskoj geografiji planine su bile poznate kao „Krishnagiri” (Crne planine), „Kanhagiri” i „Kanheri”.[13]
Geologija i glečeri[uredi | uredi izvor]
Karakorum se nalazi u jednoj od geološki najaktivnijih oblasti na svetu, na granici između Indo-australske ploče i Evroazijske ploče.[14] Značajan deo, negde između 28 i 50 procenata, Karakorumskog lanca je pod glečerima i pokriva površinu veću od 15.000 km2 (5.800 sq mi),[15] u poređenju sa između 8 i 12 procenata Himalaja i 2,2 procenta Alpa.[16] Planinski glečeri mogu poslužiti kao indikator klimatskih promena, napredujući i povlačeći se sa dugotrajnim promenama temperature i padavina. Glečeri Karakoruma se blago povlače,[17][18][19] za razliku od Himalaja gde glečeri gube masu znatno većom brzinom, mnogi glečeri Karakoruma su prekriveni slojem loma koji izoluje led od toplote sunca.[20] Tamo gde nema takve izolacije, stopa povlačenja je visoka.[21]

Ledeno doba[uredi | uredi izvor]
U poslednjem ledenom dobu, povezana serija glečera protezala se od zapadnog Tibeta do Nanga Parbata, i od Tarimskog basena do okruga Gilgit.[22][23][24] Na jugu, glečer Inda je bio glavni dolinski glečer, koji je tekao 120 km (75 mi) naniže od masiva Nanga Parbat do 870 m (2.850 ft) nadmorske visine.[22][25] Na severu su se glečeri Karakoruma pridružili onima sa planina Kunlun i spustili se do 2.000 m (6.600 ft) u basenu Tarima.[24][26]
Dok trenutni dolinski glečeri u Karakorumu dostižu maksimalnu dužinu od 76 km (47 mi), nekoliko grana glečera u dolini ledenog doba i glavnih dolinskih glečera, imalo je dužinu do 700 km (430 mi). Tokom ledenog doba, snežna linija glečera bila je oko 1.300 m (4.300 ft) niža nego danas.[24][25]
