Today we will be exploring one of the most famous mysteries of all time. On January 25, 1959, a group of 10 Russian students, all experienced hikers, would head to Mount Otorten in the northern Ural Mountains of Russia for a 16 day exploration.

The trip had been organized by the hiking team of the Ural Polytechnic Institute and they were sent out on an approved route. 1 hiker would return early due to illness, but the other 9 would continue on their voyage. Just over 1 week into their excursion, the 9 hikers would die mysteriously.

This mystery has led to countless theories ranging from the supernatural to foul play and government cover up. This is the perplexing story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident.
