Think twice before hiking in the mountains…A journey that started on January 23, 1959 as a group of experienced hikers made their way towards the Ortoten Mountain in the Northern Urals turned into one of the most horrifying unexplained mysteries in Russian history. The group of hikers, nine students along with Igor Dyatlov, an experienced mountain guide, left for an adventure in the frozen wilds of Russia. None of them could ever have imaged how the trip was going to turn out.
