In 1959, nine experienced hikers set out on an expedition through the Ural Mountains of Soviet Russia. But when they failed to return, a search party discovered their tent abandoned and cut open from the inside, with the hikers' belongings still inside and their bodies scattered across the snowy mountainside.

In this episode, we dive into the mysterious Dyatlov Pass incident and retrace what happened to the group in the days leading up to their deaths.
