A snowstorm, a slashed tent, some clothes and then, the discovery of gruesome human remains. Conspiracies abound, including a Yeti attack or failed military exercise. Stacey takes us back to 1959 to the Ural Mountains in Russia, to dig into the science that might explain what tragically happened to 9 frozen hikers. Hypothermia, slab avalanches, the freezing point of water, cellular structure and the Disney film Frozen all help thaw the ice on this 60-year old mystery.
