16. THE UNKNOWN: The Dyatlov Pass Tragedy — Part 1: The Last Expedition

from Darkly Speaking · host Darkly Speaking

January 1959 — nine hikers set out into the frozen Ural Mountains. Experienced, prepared, and full of life. Days later, their tent was found ripped open from the inside. Their gear abandoned. Their bodies scattered across the snow. What happened on that mountainside has haunted investigators and historians for more than sixty years. In Part 1 of THE UNKNOWN: The Dyatlov Pass Tragedy, we retrace the group’s final days through their recovered journals, photographs, and official reports—following their footsteps into one of the most chilling mysteries of the 20th century.
