Dead Mountain

On the night of 1–2 February 1959, near Mount Kholat Syakhl in northern Sverdlovsk Oblast, a group of nine students led by Igor Dyatlov perish. The hikers were to ski more than 300 km and climb two peaks of the Northern Ural — Otorten and Oyka-Chakur. A team led by KGB Major Oleg Kostin is assigned to uncover the reason behind the tragedy. Odd-numbered episodes depict the investigation, while even-numbered episodes portray the hikers’ expedition. == Cast ==
