The desolate Ural Mountains of Soviet Russia hold one of the 20th century's most baffling unsolved cases: the Dyatlov Pass incident. In February 1959, nine experienced young hikers were found dead under bizarre and terrifying circumstances near their campsite on Kholat Syakhl, or "Dead Mountain." This episode reconstructs their final journey.Why did the hikers frantically cut their way out of their tent from the inside, fleeing into the sub-zero wilderness inadequately dressed? The perplexing evidence found by search teams is examined: the scattered bodies, the strange injuries inconsistent with hypothermia (including severe internal trauma, missing eyes, and a missing tongue), and traces of radioactivity. The myriad theories attempting to explain their fate range from the official (and recently re-affirmed) slab avalanche theory to katabatic winds, infrasound-induced panic, secret military weapons tests, and even encounters with unknown creatures. Unravel the enduring enigma of the Dyatlov Pass.
