TVC (Russian Documentary -Line of Defense) - The Dyatlov Pass - beyond a mountain of lies , 27 February 2019. Along the Auspiya river it was easy to puncture the ice near the shoreline. However, seasonal and synoptic modulation in the intensity of the katabatic wind is frequently observed (e.g., Parish et al. I have been interested in the Dyatlov Pass since listening to a podcast a few years back. Skiing in the trailsof the Dyatlov group - watch ourshort film. R. It was the investigator Lev Ivanov who was right because everything can be explained by his theory of a U.F.O but the soviet authorities refused his explination because everything that could be related to religion was disgraced . Condivido la vostra teoria, molto pi convincente di tante sciocchezze strampalate che sono nate attorno alla disavventura di quei poveri ragazzi, che meritano rispetto e un ricordo dignitoso. The conclusions presented here can obviously be broaden much further. Yes, this would be a problem indeed, but we must be careful here. I hope you don't mind that I have shared your piece with the FB group Dyatlov Pass Incident. What they didnt anticipate during the evening of February 1st, was that a moderate windwith stronger gusts could rather swiftly turn into 25 m/s or even much above that. J.H. In the Auspiya valleythe temperature fluctuated between minus 20 and 35 degrees Celsius, with an average temperature of around minus 25 during the days and slightly belowminus 30 during the nights. Obviously they raised their tent laterally onthe slope. 17),showing the abandoned tent from northwest, clearly demonstratespatterns ofheavily wind swept snow,where vortexes of wind havehollowed out scoop-shaped cavities - in Russian so calledzastrugi(). I guess it was because they has no time, their fingers were numb because they already had gotten cold, and very likely their clothes were frozen, so no way to put them on quickly. For some reason they are down in the woods under dressed for the severe conditions. Perhaps the chocking experience of apotentialdeath trapcollapsing over theirfriends and with insufficient strength to help out, gave them only one last option - that of trying to get back to the tent. NOTE! According to Vladimir Askinadzi, present at the scene,Zolotaryov reportedly even had a pen and a paper in his hands which gives the impression of being rather in control. Only some vodka. The cooling effect was then around minus 50 degrees Celsius (-58 degrees Fahrenheit). 4) The author, Richard Holmgren, wondering how he ended up here. Aftonbladet (Plus) Expedition p jakt efter det legendariska mysteriets lsning / Running out in their socks or in their valenki, was obviously insufficient in the long run, but a wise decision considering the explosive event. While Doroshenko and Krivonischenko took responsibility for making a fire, the others started to dig out TWObivouacs, one which was retrieved empty in May and likely meant for Slobodin, Dyatlov and Kolmogorova (photo no. They never succeeded to regain the equipment, but knew exactly the direction to the tent. Oh, thank you Gunnar for these words! For example we haveinformation fromVladimir Askinadzis recount,that Ludmilas body tissue was damagedby such probing sticks. This whilst the two at the cedar made the fire. Ill do my best - have lenience. valley walls). /Richard. Richard Holmgren and Andreas Liljegren, Dyatlov Pass 2019. Where these winds are concentrated into restricted areas in the coastal valleys, the winds blow well over hurricane force,[2] reaching around 300km/h (190mph). The perhaps best example of a warm body having melted the snow is the layer found beneath Slobodin which shows that his slowly decreasing body temperature affected the snow below him. I was wondering about those tilting treeswhy are they tilted that way? Our expedition of 2019 skiedthe routeand pitchedthe tent at the same locationsand time of the yearas the Dyatlov group. In the comments to the youttube bedtime stories outline of the theory, some viewers have asked why the groups members hadn't put on their clothing. The first stage of their skiing tour involved an undertaking uphill of about three kilometers - this over a ridge which made them sweaty and tired. Other regions may have a similar but lesser effect, leading to "blue ice" areas where the snow is removed and the surface ice sublimates, but is replenished by glacier flow from upstream. And, the prerequisite for a gravity wind is possible due to the topography. earning from the event in Anaris, the decision to seek shelter was made way to late and their hastily constructed bivouac was much too shallow. Such winds are sometimes also called fall winds; the spelling catabatic winds is also used. 17-19. Thanks for this Niklas! To the right our own tent with its stove in action, here seen halfway into the Auspiya valley, somewhere afore the groups Jan 30 camp in 1959. The Anaris groups warming equipment stayed in their backpacks which were not reachable due to their numbhands. )and last three maybe did not know 4 died in shelter since probably returning to tent for medical aupplies for Georgy/Yuri still alive & exspected of 4 in Den/ bloody knuckles as last 3 and Georgy tore branches from cedar (I think Zina fell for waist injury and hit Rustik & Igor)/and who fell at 15 ftl cliff between slope track & cedar(ice,snow blowing, no gloves,shoes,hats_/and one flashlight left (only 3 for 9 hikers ! I think these actionsareimportant, because many would argue that fleeing from the tent and warmequipmentin such conditions,would mean certain death. IMO the traces and indications of the latter are stronger than the dating of the paper trail - which at least in one case have a natural explanation. Yours is the most rational theory I have read. I was surprised myself to witness the lack of information about skiing up to the pass. Aftonbladet (Plus) Djatlovmysteriet har gckat vrlden i ver 60 r. hus, my hypothesis of the subsequent events is that the rest of the team, Slobodin, Dytlov and Kolmogorova never settled in the nearby bivouac for long that is,in thebivouac that was retrieved empty in May andstillprepared with branches of fir (photo no. External links for the Swedish speaking audience: Vimmerby Tidning De reser till mystiska passet (12 januari 2019) So many theories. The series of actionscan off course be rethought and modified, but my take despitesome perchance hastily concluded details, is that the driving"unknown compellingforce"was in fact an unforeseen and strong. As the dominant input term, precipitation is a key com-ponent Even though the Dyatlov accident could be considered somewhatrecent for an archaeological undertaking - notthe least in the absence offield artefacts- thehistorical event could perhaps beunderstood through indirectartefacts and other circumstantial evidence such as being part of legend making. As long as they were in constant movement, the better. This year Andrei Kuryakov, for example, explained the problem why the criminal case dates to February 6 which is, as you say, well before they started their search. In our expedition we therefore focused on investigating things that could be measured. In the Fuegian Archipelago (Tierra del Fuego) in South America as well as in Alaska in North America, a wind known as a williwaw is a particular danger to harboring vessels. SR P1 Vetenskapsradion Historia med Tobias Svanelid - "Ny teori och rapportom mystiska Dyatlovolyckan 1959" (intervju med Richard Holmgren) 4 februari 2020. frn kl. The two men must have fought the worst since the making of a bonfire (as a backup to the bivouac solution) would have been a tremendous challenge in the cold strong wind. True Niklas, adding the paper of the 15th of February, could create a stronger case. They met our anticipations greatly and provided us with tent, stove and other larger camping equipment but most of all they found our hearts through their great strength and extremely joyful humor and spirit. Thanks - Cheers! Cheers! The young men at the fire must have struggled hard to get a fire going, which wasalso evident from their unsuccessful attempts. Any such wind as described above, would completely take anyoneoff guard,suchin the case of Anaris with its subsequentconsequences. It isnt easy to let them go. Again, the uneven and scooped surface of the snow is very evident in the photo next below (no. In line with the local topography and one of the last entries in thegroup diary, the wind was blowing from the west and as such pushed its way up the back of Kholat Syakhl. In all there were now nine persons with four wind sacks andsleeping bags, fighting for survival. As Swedes we are not completely unexperienced with cold weather, but the brutal temperatures around the pass could be really challenging. Furthermore and perhaps most important arethe consequences of freezing fluids andputrefaction gases - this incombination withaheavy snow cover,whichcouldhave had distincteffects on bothbone- and softtissueduring postmortem. Since cooled air has a higher density than the surrounding atmosphere, the katabatic wind can Hi Robin! In connection todescribingthe birch saplingthat Igor Dyatlov wasleaning againstwhen found, atestimony made bythe rescue group,Atmanaki and Masslenikov, mentioned signsof strong wind. Circumstances such as thesemakes clear that it may have beenhard to estimate if certain wounds were ante- or postmortem. This is however not a case of whats ante- or postmortem, but rather a result of wishful thinking for sinister minds. In, This page was last edited on 25 April 2023, at 04:42. I have also explored another good theory and precise explanaiton from Russian man Wladimir P, that has more videos about it on his youtube channel. Williwaws originate in the snow and ice fields of the coastal mountains, and they can be faster than 120 knots (140mph; 220km/h).[4]. One should also keep in mind that Sasha and Lyuda could have acquired survivable fractures in their chest (causing internal bleeding)that eventually led to their symptomatic postmortem compressionsbelow almost threemeters ofheavysnow for about90 days. Firstly, we wanted to come as close as possible to the historical event by experiencing night camps during the same days of the year as the group in question thisin a tent with a stove, including at least one night on the slope of Kholat Syakhl. I would suggest that ifprints were preserved or not, was highly random andthat the wind vortexes affected various spots ratherunsystematically. I'm personally forever grateful, as my life has been consumed for years trying to make the pieces of this puzzle fit. Complimenti. Photo: Dyatlov Foundation, hen touching upon the footprints left in the snow, there are reports of prints mentioned by the first rescuers arriving to the abandoned tent. emergency? Inevitably and as we shall see,I believe that this last portion of the event can give us an idea of what Slobodin, Kolmogorova and Dyatlov went through after being unable to save their friends. Although, in my opinion it is not really necessary. New theories by JohanGaume, Alexander Puzrinand Richard Holmgren. Katabatic Wind We believed that this would ease the weight from the skis and thus prevent us from sinking too deep into the snow - which fortunatelyalso becamethe case. In the end - exhausted and looking for a last solution, perhaps theytried toclimbthe cedarwith frozen limbs,trying to get a glimpse of the tent with its glowing flashlight. This gave the group time to settle, removeany wet clothes and eat leftovers - since the stove was unpacked,probably due to lack of enough firewood which wasnot present on the slopes. would also advocatethat the punctured chests of Zolotaryov and Dubinini werecaused by the weight of the collapsedden that is, a gradual compression together with a decompositionprocess over time. A hard time yes, with severe frostbites yes, but the only chance of survival. I will do my best to answer your thoughts without any irrational bias. According to estimates in 1959, the temperature that the Dyatlov group experienced in the late afternoon and in the evening on the first of February, was between minus 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. In experiencing the same preconditions, we hoped to get a sober idea of what the group went throughbefore their last night. "The Barber" has a local reputation for its coldness. For a brief expositiononthe course of events -click on the image. As Swedes we are not completely unexperienced with cold weather, but the brutal temperatures around the pass could be really challenging. Real sceince is research , supposition , the attempt to put data together to give them a powerful meaning . But I agree with you, the things they did in the forest after leaving the tent is hard, but in my opinion not impossible. 13) The last view of the Dyatlov group alive. Katabatic winds may occur in a large range of spatial and temporal scales. This is not forwarded as any criticism to the professional hikers, but something that might have helped them temporarily under any possible turbulent event involving strong winds. Then - what kind of sudden "blizzard" killed the Anaris group? Wikipedia (English) - Dyatlov Pass Incident / Explanations /Katabatic wind. One of theseUPI-students, Yuri Koptelov, reported footprints as if people were positioned shoulder to shoulder. For the Dyatlovgroup the snow depth of their made bivouac(s) was well chosen considering the forceful conditions, but as we shall see, with another devastating effect. What was your contingency plan in the case of a katabatic wind? Apile of freshly cutfirewood was furthermore stacked around our stove in order to both dry the wood and to prevent things like sleeping bags to accidently makecontact with the heater during the night. We packed downour tent the 2nd of February 2019 during the 60 years anniversary of the Dyatlov event, but later learned from EMERCOM (Ministry of Emergency Situations in Russia) that during the upcoming eveningthe temperature fell from our minus 43 degrees Celsius down to near minus 50. That might have been possible and perhaps could have saved some of them. By comparing the eventswith a case from my home country Sweden, I think that a new approach with interesting details of comparisoncould be very illuminating. Photo: Richard Holmgren, n other words, the conditions described in the groups last entries had the prerequisites for the buildup of a. Therefore I would like to make a statementto the contrary - that, if the weather would have been calm, then any appearing and suddenly disappearing footprintswould really have posed a problem. Again, the uneven and scooped surface of the snow is very evident in the photo next below (no. In fact, collapsing a tent to reduce the chances of wind damage, followed by a shielding of snow to hold the tent down, is expected in such situations. We know that the Dyatlov group occasionally used the trails of the Mansi hunters, but also that they shifted their front-skier, whowithout backpack made tracks and later moved toa last-in-line position. Many many thanks Mary! Im thinking it could have been the case for these guys as well in why they cut the tent. This is furthermore not the kind of respect the Dyatlovgroup deserve-or their surviving relatives for that matter. Katabatic winds are a common feature of the lower Antarctic atmosphere. Together we might reach a detailed a likely scenario one day. Only one of them survived - this after being found far away from a temporary and insufficient snow shelter made by the core group. Ulcers and multiple bleedings in the stomach as a result of severe hypothermia are quite normal. In the Auspiya valleythe temperature fluctuated between minus 20 and 35 degrees Celsius, with an average temperature of around minus 25 during the days and slightly belowminus 30 during the nights. A katabatic wind (named from Ancient Greek (katbasis) 'descent') is a drainage wind, a wind that carries high-density air from a higher elevation down a slope under the force of gravity. We also know that the wind wascompared to a blow fryer according the group it was associated with the steady airstream of a jet engine. Language links are at the top of the page across from the title. 18). Continental orography also constrains the Lets see. For us it was an impossible task and considering that we only skied during one fourth of their total planned time-route, yet aremaining mysterysurroundingthe Dyatlov groupmust undoubtedlybe their exceptional stamina. Sooner or later during their tour, they would havedone this type of pitching, butunfortunately they happened to choose the wrong night. Thus, this lead toan uneasyfeeling whencrawling out of the sleeping bag,having to put certaincold clothes on before themorning routines. Thank you so much for your investigative journalism. When this happens on a slope, this cold dense air starts flowing downhill. Discover Magazine - "The Dyatlov Pass Incident: Can Science Explain What Happened to the Hikers? Buthopefully the ideas canprovide a general outline of aperhapsrather commonsensicalevent. 13.52. I try to be open minded, but as with you, I feel that this might be the case. Wonderfully interesting Sir,and a great thing to do. Snow affected by strong windis also evident in the photos of the three bodies that were buried inthe lower part of the slope. I would suggest that ifprints were preserved or not, was highly random andthat the wind vortexes affected various spots ratherunsystematically. We shallreturn to thislater on. hen the Anaris-group started the trip, they encountered an outside temperature of around minus 15 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Fahrenheit) with a wind speed of around 6 m/s. In fact,eyes are reportedas still beingin place by the pathologist, but shriveled into the back of the eye cavities. I also wrote on HOREUR QUBEC website about DYATLOV = 5 e-mails . Thisusually gives symptoms offatigue, impaired coordination ability, confusion and hallucinations. Considering the seemingly dimlight (? With unthought of details, we could then apply those to our personal theories. There are several caseswhere changes in gastric mucosa have been seen in hypothermia-related deaths. . Webto day during the lull period of the Katabatic wind. The katabatic winds are stronger in the Ross Sea sector of Antarctica (Parish & Cassano, 2003) and even though they may play a role in modulating the climatological mean ASL, it is difficult to disentangle the effects of katabatic winds from the effects of flow separation by Antarctic topography in a climate model. Thanks for you question! From their group diary we know that around noon, on the day beforetheir last campsite on the slopes of Kholat Syakhl, the wind escalated. A two-dimensional (2-D) model, practical for a large number of idealized SR P4 stergtland (nyheterna) Allt gick vl i mytomspunna bergspasset (intervju med Andreas & Richard efter Dyatlovexpeditionen 2019)3 februari 2019, kl.

As long as they were in constant movement, the better. Not the least does this furthermoreindicate that they werent lost the day before when pitching the tent on the slope a sometimes presumed scenario. As Andreas and I are heavy drinkers (water), it was hard to get sufficient with liquid. Vox Media - "Two theories for an unsolved Soviet mystery", (intervju med Richard Holmgren om katabatiska vind-teorin samt med Johan Gaume och Alexander M. Puzrin om snflaksteorin),5 April 2021. I hope my theory makes sense among other interesting theories. he conclusions presented here can obviously be broaden much further. En produktion av Pannrummet och Sveriges Television (premir p SVT-Play den 28januari samt i SVT2 den 4 februari kl. But, I would say the skies would have made it just fine. No fir bedding was found beneath the four due to the shelters position over the stream. Colonel G. Ortyukov that checked the diary, said that it was empty and thus it was not files as evidence. Running out in their socks or in their, ith the extremely low temperatures at hand, the Dyatlov groupsocks wouldnt immediately turn wet as long as they moved quickly down to the forest to seek atemporary shelter. Good to hear that it makes sense. Photo: Mats Borg, n the photos taken by the rescue team, clear traces of snow affected by strong wind can be seen pointing towards the tent from around the peak of Kholat Syakhl. Unlike the group in 1959 we had half of our equipment filled into individual sledges. What is important to know is also that katabatic winds (gravity winds) are much stronger along the slope but not necessarily that strong in the forest. The stove provided good warmth during the nights but mainly to a level of not making equipment and food to freeze. Anabatic and katabatic winds are thermally induced winds, (with katabatic sometimes also used for other downslope winds) with the mechanisms similar to a Aware of the dangers of conceivable strongwinds, we pitched the tent with the gablefacing the gradient (photo no.
