Their route[edit]

Well now - has no-one attempted to plot their route on Google Earth? Well I just have.

From Vizhai they needed to go north to approach Otorten mountain via the valley of the Reka Loz'va river. This provides the initial route, and after a detour, west to the final ascent north to Otorten summit.

It is clear that they turned west too early, up the wrong valley of the Reka Auspiya, which is the next before the correct one.

They turned north at about the right point and started ascending what was actually Kholat Syakhl, but they thought was Otorten.

They presumably realised their mistake, and camped just below the col.

Presuming the coordinates given here are correct, and that Google Earth's height model is correct, and the description of what happened next is correct, then they left the tent and went *uphill* to the ridge above them (not what you would do fearing an avalanche), and then north east downhill into the valley of the Reka Loz'va to the tree line 981 mt away.

Not the obvious opposite route downhill to the tree line 766 mt closer in the direction they had come.

Their route was not a mistake, their intention was to leave extra luggage near Auspia. А. Кайдалов (talk) 19:01, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

use of frozen animations[edit]

didn't they use the code used in frozen to animate snow to help figure out what happened? "Gaume met with Frozen's snow effects specialist and got permission to use the actual code used to animate snow in the movie. He worked with Alexander Puzrin, a fellow avalanche researcher from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, to apply an adapted version of the code to the Dyatlov Pass incident." - [1] Awesome Zain (talk) 15:01, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also thought that. If we can find some more sources about their findings and how they were received, I can help add a bit about it. Wracking ^💬 05:16, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In other works[edit]

The essential facts of this story are used by authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s in their 2023 novel Dead Mountain. Akmccrady (talk) 01:26, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
