In February of 1959 10 young people embarked on a journey to hike and ski Dead Mountain in the northern Soviet Union. 1 of the hikers turned back a day into the trip, leaving the remaining 9 to carry on. When they failed to make contact and return on time, search parties were sent out to find them. The hikers were all found dead and their campsite was found undisturbed. The causes of death were all mysterious and the events that lead to them have sparked many theories and conspiracies over the years.
