In January 1959, ten experienced young skiers set out for Mount Otorten in the far north of Russia. While one of the skiers fell ill and returned, the remaining nine lost their way and ended up on another mountain slope known as Kholat Syakhl (or 'Mountain of the Dead').

On the night of 1st February 1959 something or someone caused the skiers to flee their tent in such terror that they used knives to slash their way out. Search parties were sent out and their bodies were found, some with massive internal injuries but with no external marks on them. The autopsy stated the violent injuries were caused by 'an unknown compelling force'. The area was sealed off for years by the authorities and the full events of that night remained unexplained.

Using original research carried out in Russia and photographs from the skier's cameras, Keith McCloskey attempts to explain what happened to the nine young people who lost their lives in the mysterious 'Dyatlov Pass Incident'.

The Dyatlov Pass Mystery Not a Cold Case Book - Keith McCloskey

There have been a number of new books on the Dyatlov Incident recently. I wanted to mention in particular "The Dyatlov Pass Mystery: NOT A Cold Case" by Henning Kuersten.

It came out a short while ago, but Henning has been carrying out further research and has just republished the book with 60% more material and has widened the scope of his research. He has also kindly asked me to write the introductory chapter. I was most impressed by the depth of research that he has put into it and surprisingly, as an experienced climber himself, he has not gone for the "it is obviously an avalanche" route as I find many climbers do.

I won’t give any other spoilers, but I highly recommend this book to all Dyatlov aficionados.
