THE UNIQUE CHANCE TO TOUCH DYATLOV PASS MYSTERY!
Dyatlov Pass is a mountain pass in the Northern Urals between Kholat Syakhl Mount and the nameless height 905. Here in 1959, a group of nine students from Ural Polytechnical University (Russia), led by Igor Dyatlov, died under unexplained circumstances. This mystery has not been unraveled for six decades. The tragedy which happened in the north of the Urals still excites the minds of scientists, researchers and travelers…

Preface: In 1959, nine students, who were experienced tourists, went on a winter ski trip. No one came back. All died in one night. The investigation was finished without finding out the real cause of the group death: "The elemental force, which the tourists were unable to overcome". There are lots of versions, hypotheses and assumptions about this tragedy.
