Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident by Donnie Eichar

5.0

What a sad and fascinating mystery.

I had never heard of the Dyatlov Pass Incident before reading this, but this book gave an outstanding overview filled with meticulously researched accounts. I found it especially interesting that Eichar traveled to the Ural Mountains to retrace the steps of the hikers.

The theory proposed by Eichar is complicated, but he is able to distill the scientific phenomena into an easy-to-digest format. I also loved the way he wrote of the hikers and their group camaraderie. Highly recommend.
