Terrifying & True | 1993 Hamar-Daban Mystery: Siberia’s “Dyatlov Pass” Tragedy
Dive into chilling stories and eerie folklore with this terrifying true mystery from Siberia...A true crime / survival mystery in August 1993, seven hikers entered the Hamar-Daban Mountains of Buryatia (near Lake Baikal)—and only one walked back out. What happened on that windswept ridge has been called the “Buryat Dyatlov Pass”: a sudden storm, a frantic descent, and then a cascade of bizarre symptoms—foaming at the mouth, blood, panic, and collapse—leaving six bodies scattered on an exposed ledge while a terrified teen survivor staggered to a river and found help.
Officials ruled hypothermia and closed the case. But the details refused to stay buried: claims of missing eyes later attributed to scavengers, questions about food and exhaustion, and theories ranging from toxic exposure to military testing to the possibility of cold/altitude-related pulmonary edema.
Inside this episode:
- The trek: Lyudmila Korovina leads six young hikers into the Hamar-Daban range
- The turn: August 4–5 — a brutal storm hits at roughly 2,300 meters
- The collapse: eyewitness survivor account of sudden convulsions and rapid deaths
- The recovery: why the scene looked “impossible,” and what time + wildlife can do
- The official file: why authorities said hypothermia—and what they dismissed
- Theories vs. evidence: separating folklore from what the record can actually support
This is a case where nature, fear, and unanswered questions collide—and the only person who knows the final minutes had to live with them forever. We’re telling that story tonight.

1
00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:07.559
The storm came out of nowhere, and then the hikers
2
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:17.160
started dropping, one by one, foaming, bleeding, screaming. In minutes,
3
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:23.519
six were gone on a Siberian ridge they would never escape,
4
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:30.000
and one terrified teenager ran blind into the wilderness, praying
5
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:36.600
the river would lead her to safety. What you were
6
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:45.439
about to pat is buried to be based on witness accounts, testaments,
7
00:00:46.359 --> 00:01:01.679
and public record, this is terrifying and treat High in
8
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:07.760
the Hamar Dabon Mountains of Siberia, winter doesn't wait for
9
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:13.359
a season. Even in summer, the cold can arrive like
10
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:20.840
a verdict, wind knifing through wet clothing, fog swallowing the distance,
11
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:27.120
and sleet turning every rock into a trap. One moment
12
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.719
you're hiking beneath gray skies, the next you're fighting to
13
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.719
breathe in the air that feels sharpened and watching the
14
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:45.599
world turn white. In August of nineteen ninety three, seven
15
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:52.040
hitchhikers followed an experienced leader into that very unforgiving range
16
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:58.200
near Lake bai Kal. They weren't reckless thrill seekers. They
17
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:04.840
were trained, prepared and moving with purpose. But when a
18
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:12.360
sudden storm slammed into the ridge, warmth vanished, Visibility collapsed,
19
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:18.919
and the mountain began doing what it does best, isolating people,
20
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:25.479
one decision at a time, until there's no one left
21
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:31.360
to hear you call out. What happened next still chills
22
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:38.759
investigators and locals. Decades later, a frantic descent, a campsite
23
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:45.719
abandoned in chaos, and then the survivor's account of terrifying
24
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:52.080
symptoms and to collapse so fast it felt unreal. Six
25
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:57.639
would die on that frozen slope. One would stumble into
26
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:02.919
the wilderness alone, oaked to the bone, with the storm
27
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.960
at her back and the silence ahead. Authorities were quick
28
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.840
to call it hypothermia and close the file, but the
29
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:20.879
details refuse to freeze in place. Tonight we examine the facts,
30
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:27.840
the contradictions, and the theories, because in Hamar Daba, the
31
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:35.039
cold doesn't just kill, it keeps secrets. Grab a blanket
32
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.960
and something warm to drink as we make our way
33
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:44.319
to Siberia. And while you're at it, make sure you're
34
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:50.319
subscribed for more terrifying and true every Monday, right here
35
00:03:50.639 --> 00:04:07.840
on Weekly Spooky. In August of nineteen ninety three, the
36
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:15.400
Hamar Daban Mountains of Buriatiya majestic peaks, notorious for sudden storms,
37
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.879
became the scene of a baffling tragedy a season. Forty
38
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:26.959
one year old instructor Laudmiya Coravina led six young trekkers
39
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:32.000
from Kazakhstan on a challenging hike through this wild terrain.
40
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:37.439
They had prepared well, mapping their route months in advance
41
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:42.160
and carrying plenty of food and gear for several days.
42
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:47.279
Everything went according to plan as the team made steady
43
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:53.720
progress through forests and over ridges, enjoying campfires under the stars.
44
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.720
But on the night of August fourth through fifth, near
45
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:03.120
the crest of the rain jet around twenty three hundred meters,
46
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:08.920
the weather turned. A vicious storm blew in with howling
47
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:14.319
winds and freezing rain that soon changed to wet snow.
48
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.639
The hikers, dressed for mild weather, were suddenly soaked and
49
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.839
shivering as the temperature plunged. Tense collapsed under the gale
50
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.240
before dawn, Coravina decided they had to get off the
51
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.839
exposed ridge immediately. The group hurried back to pack up
52
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:43.560
and began descending toward the treeline as the blizzard intensified.
53
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.959
In the early morning hours of August fifth, As the
54
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:54.800
seven struggled down a slope through blinding snow. Disaster struck
55
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.920
without warning, Twenty four year old Alexander Creasan, one of
56
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:05.720
the strongest hikers in the team, suddenly fell to the ground,
57
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:14.040
frothing at the mouth. Valentina Utochenko seventeen later described foam
58
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:18.920
coming from Chrysan's mouth and blood from his ears as
59
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:24.600
he convulsed. By the time Coravina reached him, Cresan was
60
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:35.439
not breathing. Then, shockingly, Corovina herself collapsed. She clutched her
61
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:40.639
chest and dropped to her knees over Cresan's body, apparently
62
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:46.480
felled by a heart attack on the spot. What followed
63
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:52.720
was pure chaos. The remaining hikers were thrown into panic.
64
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:59.759
In their terror, one hiker, Tatiana Filippenko, began smashing her
65
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:06.040
head against rocks, Another, Dini Schvatchkin, curled up in his
66
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.199
sleeping bag under a boulder, and seventeen year old Victoria
67
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:17.519
Zalezova went into a hysterical rage, at one point biting
68
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:24.839
Valentina's arm while screaming incoherently. Korvina tried to rally them,
69
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.959
but it was too late. One by one, the others
70
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:36.199
collapsed on the icy ground, falling where they stood. In
71
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.480
a matter of minutes, six members of the group were
72
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:47.120
dead or dying, scattered in the howling wind. Only Valentina
73
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:54.639
remained on her feet. Bruised, numb, and terrified. She realized
74
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:59.000
she was the last one alive. She broke away and
75
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:05.000
ran half stumbling, half sliding down the mountain through the storm,
76
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.560
praying she might find help before it was too late.
77
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.680
After several hours of stumbling alone through the wilderness, a
78
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:20.519
little past midday, a group of Ukrainian rafters on the
79
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.600
Sneezna River spotted a young woman on the river bank.
80
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:32.759
It was Valentina. She was battered, soaked, and incoherent, shouting
81
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:37.600
about dead friends on the mountain. The rafters rushed to
82
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.159
her aid. They wrapped her in warm clothes and tried
83
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.919
to calm her as she babbled about what had happened.
84
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:51.120
Once they grasped the situation, they alerted the authorities at once.
85
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:58.600
Rescue teams launched an urgent search, but the weather hampered them.
86
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:04.440
Helicopters and round crews scoured the mountains for days, initially
87
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:11.519
finding nothing. Finally, on August twenty seventh, nearly three weeks
88
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.759
after the ordeal, a rescue helicopter crew spotted a grim
89
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:22.960
scene on a high barren ledge. Six bodies were lying
90
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:28.120
in the snow. When rescuers reached the site, they found
91
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:35.960
the corpses exactly as Valentina had described. The site was ghastly.
92
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:41.600
It was a terrible picture, as one helicopter crewman reported.
93
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:47.559
The bodies lay on a small rocky shelf, some huddled together,
94
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:53.279
others sprawled apart. They had been exposed to the elements
95
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:59.720
for weeks. All of their eyes were gone, empty sockets
96
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.360
staring into the sky, and parts of their faces and
97
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:11.200
limbs had been eaten away by scavengers. In the open mouths,
98
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:17.039
insects writhed the stench of decay hung in the thin air.
99
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:23.120
Rescuers wrapped the remains in plastic for transport, but even
100
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:28.360
then the helicopter was filled with a foul odor during
101
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.840
the return flight. In total, six lives were lost on
102
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:40.399
that ledge. Valentina Otchenko, the teenager who managed to flee,
103
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:48.240
was the only survivor of the expedition. Russian authorities investigated
104
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:54.759
the incident to determine how this calamity unfolded. Forensic autopsies
105
00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:01.960
confirmed that All six victims ultimately died of hypothermia lethal
106
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:07.759
exposure to the cold. Their bodies showed classic signs of
107
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:15.360
freezing and exhaustion, soaked tattered clothes, and internal damage consistent
108
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:23.639
with extreme cold, including completely depleted energy reserves. Importantly, there
109
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:28.879
were no major external injuries and no indication of foul
110
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:35.519
play or violence. Investigators found no traces of any toxins
111
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:40.679
or drugs. Based on the evidence, officials concluded that the
112
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:45.519
group fell victim to a deadly combination of weather and
113
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:51.679
human missteps. As the final report put it, no criminal
114
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:56.559
case was opened. The only factors were in proper leadership
115
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:02.679
and cold. In other words, the official verdict was that
116
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:07.840
Coravena's team froze to death due to an unexpected mountain
117
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:20.919
storm and sheer fatigue. One finding suggested the hikers were
118
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:27.159
weaker than expected before the storm even hit. Searchers noted
119
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:32.080
that at the final campsite, the team's food stores were
120
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:37.559
virtually gone. Only a single can of meat stew was
121
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:43.919
found for all seven people quote, no candy wrappers, no
122
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:50.919
extra rations, nothing, One rescuer recalled, implying the group might
123
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:55.600
have been running on empty. Coravina was known as a
124
00:12:55.720 --> 00:13:00.799
tough survivalist instructor who sometimes kept her students on minimal
125
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:05.120
rations to harden them. If she had done so here,
126
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:11.000
it could explain why the hikers deteriorated so rapidly when
127
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:18.440
conditions turned Quote, no wonder they died. Their bodies were spent,
128
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:27.919
that rescuer commented bitterly. Valentina o Tochenko, however, has always
129
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:33.120
defended her mentor and the group's preparation. She insists they
130
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:38.240
were well fed and well equipped. In interviews, Valentina said
131
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:42.200
they ate hot meals four times a day and had
132
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:48.320
plenty of snacks. Quote we often built campfires to warm food,
133
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:54.840
she noted. She describes Coravina as an attentive, caring leader
134
00:13:55.279 --> 00:14:00.519
who did everything possible once the weather turned bad. According
135
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:05.559
to Valentina, Corovina woke everyone early and tried to lead
136
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:10.840
a careful descent. Quote she tried to save us. She
137
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:19.279
just didn't have time, Valentina recounted, rejecting any claim of incompetence.
138
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:26.159
Valentina also offered her own theory for the tragedy. She
139
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.159
believes a sudden pulmonary edema a rapid fluid build up
140
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.159
in the lungs might have struck down her friends. In
141
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:40.440
the extreme conditions, this can cause victims to froth blood
142
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:46.200
and suffocate quickly. It's a known but rare reaction to
143
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.720
high altitude and cold, and it matched some of the
144
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:57.279
symptoms she witnessed. Doctors acknowledged that cold induced edema can happen,
145
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.600
though it is highly unusual dual at two thousand, three
146
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:07.879
hundred meters. Despite her speculation, officials did not find medical
147
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:16.639
proof of this specific occurrence, and the official explanation remained hypothermia.
148
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:21.480
In the end, the authorities treated the case as a
149
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:28.799
tragic accident. No further criminal or scientific inquiry was pursued.
150
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.639
The file was closed with the conclusion that a sudden
151
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:39.519
change of weather, combined with possible mistakes in judgment, led
152
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:46.440
to the deaths. Nothing supernatural or extraordinary, just a worst
153
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:53.320
case scenario of nature overwhelming the hikers. For many who
154
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:59.639
hear the story, however, the official verdict feels incomplete. The
155
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:03.759
base manner in which the hikers died has given rise
156
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:08.960
to a slew of alternative theories. How could a close
157
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:14.919
knit trekking group descend into such horror so quickly. Over
158
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:22.200
the years, outdoor enthusiasts and mystery lovers have proposed various explanations.
159
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.440
Here are some of the leading theories, each with a
160
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:31.240
compelling point or two, and each with a major flaw.
161
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:39.080
The first is nerve gas exposure. Perhaps the hikers encountered
162
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:45.080
a cloud of military grade nerve gas. Nerve agents like novichok,
163
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:50.919
can cause convulsions, foaming at the mouth, paralysis, and death
164
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:59.559
within minutes, eerily matching the scene Valentina had described. Maybe
165
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.799
a seascret weapons test or accidental leak in the area
166
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:12.839
gased the group, killing them almost simultaneously. However, extensive testing
167
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:17.359
found no poisons in the victim's bodies and there were
168
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:23.279
no reports of military operations nearby. Without a shred of
169
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:31.000
evidence of chemicals, this theory remains pure speculation. Another theory
170
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:38.759
is more natural, although still terrifying. Some theorize a natural
171
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:44.839
phenomena infrasound from the storm induced terror in the group.
172
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:51.880
Powerful winds can generate low frequency vibrations that humans can't
173
00:17:52.039 --> 00:18:00.680
hear but might feel, potentially causing unease or panic. The
174
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:06.640
fierce gale that night could have conceivably produced infrasound that
175
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:12.440
drove the hikers into irrational fear or even physical distress.
176
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:19.240
This might account for their sudden hysterical behavior. Yet this
177
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:25.799
idea is very very hard to prove. No recordings exist
178
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:31.079
of any unusual sound that night, and the hikers already
179
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:36.200
had ample reason to panic due to the freezing blizzard
180
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:41.799
and the collapsing of their camp infrasound remains an intriguing
181
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:52.039
but uninformed hypothesis. Another theory that others suspect are environmental toxins.
182
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.720
Perhaps an unexpected release of gas from a lightning strike
183
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:03.079
the ground or a d distant industrial accident poisoned the
184
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:09.599
hiker's air inhaling something like ozone or chemical fumes could
185
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:14.920
have burned their lungs, causing them to cough blood and collapse.
186
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:22.920
Such fumes would neatly explain the bloody froth and sudden deaths. However,
187
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:28.240
no evidence of any chemical leak or unusual gas was
188
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:34.599
ever found. Autopsies detected no toxins, and no nearby incident
189
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:42.279
was reported. This theory, too, is mostly guesswork without data.
190
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:49.680
A more conventional disaster scenario is also considered. Maybe a
191
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:55.400
small avalanche or a powerful gust of wind a catabatic
192
00:19:55.480 --> 00:20:00.200
wind struck the camp. A slab of wet snow could
193
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.039
have collapsed onto them, or a sudden windblast might have
194
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:09.680
knocked members off their feet, triggering panic. This could explain
195
00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:17.400
why the team became so disoriented so fast. However, rescuers
196
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:22.240
saw no sign of any avalanche debris, and the bodies
197
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:28.079
had no injuries, none consistent with a snow slide impact.
198
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:35.160
While extreme weather undoubtedly contributed to their fate, it alone
199
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:43.680
doesn't explain the hiker's bizarre symptoms and rapid demise. The
200
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:48.480
simplest explanation is that there was no mystery at all,
201
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:57.119
just human tragedy. Coravena may have overestimated her team's ability
202
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:02.759
and made fatal decisions. By the time they faced the storm,
203
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:09.880
the hikers were already exhausted and freezing. Severe hypothermia can
204
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:16.880
lead to confusion, irrational behavior, and even hallucinations, which could
205
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:23.160
explain the self harm and delirium reported. The gruesome injuries
206
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:30.039
like missing eyes were likely caused by scavenging animals after death,
207
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:39.039
not any strange force, as investigators had suggested a perfect
208
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:44.359
storm of poor planning and brutal weather, not the paranormal
209
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:56.440
had killed the group. None of these theories can be proven,
210
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:03.960
yet none can be entirely dismissed. Decades later, people still
211
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:10.160
debate what really happened on that mountain. Officially, the tragedy
212
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:15.640
was simple, but to those who know the story, that
213
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.720
answer feels almost too neat and tidy. The deaths were
214
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:25.799
so sudden and strange that it's hard not to wonder
215
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:31.759
if something more was at play in the end. The
216
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:37.759
nineteen ninety three Hamar Dabbin incident occupies an uneasy realm
217
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:44.799
between fact and folklore, a case where nature's power, human fear,
218
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:49.960
and our desire for answers combine to shroud the truth
219
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:57.200
in mystery. This disaster inevitably drew parallels to the famous
220
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:03.240
Yatlav Past incident of nineteen fifty nine. Both involved young
221
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:09.640
hikers dying under puzzling circumstances in the mountains. The media
222
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:15.400
even dubbed Coravina's case as the buryat Ditlov Pass because
223
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:21.920
of these similarities, unexplained injuries, signs of panic, and gruesome
224
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:30.240
details evoking the Ditlav mystery. However, the differences are significant.
225
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:36.519
Ditlov's group faced deep winter cold and likely an avalanche,
226
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.559
whereas Coravina's team was caught in a summer storm and
227
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:49.079
no avalanche evidence was ever found Ditlov's autopsies showed severe
228
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:54.680
trauma from a snow impact, while the Hamar D'aban victims
229
00:23:55.240 --> 00:24:02.480
had no such injuries, only indications of hypothera. Moreover, the
230
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:09.200
Dyetlav incident underwent decades of intensive investigation, and today most
231
00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:17.480
experts conclude an avalanche and hypothermia were to blame. Coravina's case,
232
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:23.160
in contrast, was quickly classified as an accident and never
233
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:29.119
studied to the same depth. Additionally, each tragedy left only
234
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:34.440
one survivor. At the Dyetlav Pass, a hiker had turned
235
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:39.160
back early and wasn't present for the fatal night. At
236
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:46.119
Hamar Daban, only Valentina lived to recount the ordeal. That
237
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:51.759
solitary perspective or lack of witnesses in the final moments
238
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:57.279
contributed to the enduring aura of mystery in both cases.
239
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:02.039
As a result, the diet Love Pass mystery became a
240
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:07.680
well known and now largely solved legend, while the Hamar
241
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:16.079
Daban tragedy, though chilling, remained a more obscure regional tale.
242
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:20.359
In the years since nineteen ninety three, the story of
