Dyatlov Pass Told Through Their Last Entries

In February 1959, nine young hikers died in the Ural Mountains of Russia after leaving their tent in the middle of the night, at around 25 degrees below zero. For more than sixty years nobody could explain it with certainty. This video tells the Dyatlov Pass incident through their last diary entries, walks through the best-known theories, and explains the 2019 reopening of the case and the Gaume and Puzrin study of a possible slab avalanche, always as hypotheses and never as proof. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 A reconstructed last entry 00:14 February 1959: a frozen slope 01:32 The ten hikers 02:47 Yuri Yudin turns back 03:16 Storm and a change of route 04:36 The telegram that never came 05:02 The empty tent 05:26 The tracks toward the forest 06:37 The first Soviet investigation 07:22 Six decades of theories 08:44 The case is reopened (2019) 10:03 The Gaume and Puzrin study 11:59 The nine 12:58 Last entry Main sources: • Dyatlov Pass incident, Wikipedia (timeline, roster, inquiry and theories) • TASS, 11 July 2020: Russian prosecutors say an avalanche killed the group • Gaume & Puzrin, Communications Earth & Environment 2, 10 (2021), DOI 10.1038/s43247-020-00081-8 • EPFL: long read on the Gaume and Puzrin study • Explanations are presented as hypotheses; the video flags what is still in doubt.
