九个人从帐篷里割开口子跑出去，再也没回来

In late January 1959, ten people set off from the Ural Polytechnic Institute to go skiing. The leader was Dyatlov. They were all students and young graduates, eight men and two women. The route was of the highest difficulty level, crossing a mountain in the Northern Urals. The mountain's name, given by the local Mansi people, translates roughly to "Mountain of the Dead" in Chinese. Halfway through, one person, named Yuri, suffered severe leg pain and turned back. He later lived until 2013. The remaining nine set up camp on the mountainside on the evening of February 1.

They had originally agreed to send a telegram after returning to the village where they started. When no news arrived by the appointed date, people at first thought they were just delayed on the road. A few more days passed before the school and families began to worry, and a search and rescue team was dispatched.

At the end of February, the search team found the tent on the mountainside. The tent had been cut open from the inside. Shoes and thick clothes were left inside, but the people were all outside. Following the footprints down the mountain, more than a thousand meters away, two people were found lying under a cedar tree, wearing only their underwear, with traces of a fire nearby. Walking back, three more were found, collapsed halfway between the trees and the tent, including the leader Dyatlov, as if they had been trying to crawl back.

The remaining four were not found until May, when the snow melted, when they were discovered under four or five meters of snow in a mountain ravine. These four were dressed more completely; it was said that the clothes had been taken from the people ahead to give to them. Several of them had serious injuries—one had a broken sternum, another had a skull injury. A girl named Lyudmila was missing her tongue. Yet there were no signs of struggle on their bodies, and their outer skin was intact.

Some of their clothes tested positive for radiation. That same year, another mountaineering team nearby also claimed to have seen orange spheres in the sky.

The Soviet investigation at the time concluded with "a natural force they could not overcome," and the case files were sealed for decades. Since then, every kind of explanation has emerged: aliens, military tests, the Yeti, and some say it was infrasound from the wind that drove them mad.

In 2019, the Russian prosecutor's office reopened the case, and the following year concluded it was an avalanche combined with extreme cold: a slab of snow slid down the slope and hit the tent, and they cut open the tent and ran downhill for fear of it happening again. Later, two Swiss researchers simulated the slope and supported this conclusion. But some still disagree, because those severe injuries, and those who left their shoes in the tent, cannot be fully explained.

That mountain pass was later named Dyatlov Pass, and to this day people still go there every year. In February, some even camp there specifically on that night.
